dara_the_druid's review against another edition
3.0
Il libro parte da presupposti validi, purtroppo l'ho trovato invecchiato un po' male, con statistiche non aggiornate e ragionamenti superati, per quanto all'avanguardia al tempo di uscita del libro.
bibliophage's review against another edition
Learned a lot about Hillary Clinton, which was one of the reasons I read the book. I appreciate the idea that many people influence, shape, and help create children (and ourselves). Many come in to our lives who help us learn and grow, but I believe Clinton's strong emphasis away from the home is problematic.
mrogows's review against another edition
3.0
Overall I genuinely enjoyed this book.
As for drawbacks, there were a few points I don't agree with Hillary on. Although I do agree that the media is too flooded with violence and sex, I don't think there should be regulations against it. This is especially true with her stance on Video Games. We are indeed seeing the fallout of the violence our media has given us young kids growing up, but I believe a bigger onus is on the media at large, a topic Hillary did touch upon and I applaud her for doing so.
Other than that one area, the book was extremely well written, well researched, and well executed. It does suffer just a bit from the time it was published, and is dated. But reading it at the end of 2018 was a very strange combination of nostalgia from the 1990s, prophetic warnings (some good, some bad, and many seeing fruition), and a celebration of where we have come from and where we were going.
As I started 2018 with Hillary's last book, it only seemed fitting to end it with her first book. A great way to wrap up 2018 and begin 2019.
