howlinglibraries 's review for:
Just like with the other book from this author I've read, Decluttering at the Speed of Life, it's a valuable resource, yet I'm honestly really relieved I borrowed it instead of buying it, for a few reasons:
1) It's repetitive as heck. Just like the other book.
2) Once you take away a few core values from the book (like setting a specific day each week for laundry and not budging from that), it's a lot of filler material and anecdotes for no reason. The "meat" of this book could easily be fit into 50pg or less.
3) If you haven't read Decluttering at the Speed of Life yet, SKIP IT and read this instead. No joke, about 80pg of this book covers literally THE ENTIRE OTHER BOOK. If you saw my review for Decluttering, you might remember me complaining that the entire second half of the book was the same guidelines being rephrased over and over for each specific room in your home? Yeah, well, that was proven by the fact that another 200+pg. book could be fit into only 80pg of this book.
I dunno, y'all... I'm so torn. This book and Decluttering both truly did give me tips that have already helped me and my spouse TREMENDOUSLY with our house, but at the same time, these books feel so gimmicky and unnecessary that I cannot in good conscience recommend them to you unless you can borrow them, find them at a great price, or have a lot more spare book-buying cash laying around than I do (because I'd frankly be mad as hell if I'd spent $16.99USD each on these books).
