Book Review: Mother Warriors

Who knew? Jenny McCarthy is more than a pretty face - she writes books too. Apparently this is her 5th - FIFTH!!!! book. I can't say that I was particularly moved by her writing style or flowery language (unless the f-bomb and other 4-letter words count). But, overall, it was a good book. One that will make me think twice about giving my kids vaccines right away without checking up on some details. She gets on the AMA pretty harshly, but I think they can take it. I liked how she talked about various families and their experiences with autism, and she really empathized with each person's story.

What was really interesting was reading it in the lunchroom at my place of employment. Where everyone there is a Doctor in Pediatrics somehow. I felt like I was reading The Communist Manifesto in front of McCarthy.

All in all, I think the book was informative (though not scientific way - more as peoples' experiences) and thought-provoking. Just don't expect it to win a Pulitzer.
