Apunta't a LibraryThing per saber si aquest llibre et pot agradar. No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. I received the book for free through Goodreads First Reads. Amazing. Heart-breaking and exciting. A tale of cancer survival by the author of The Vagina Monologues. ( ) Ressenya escrita per a Crítics Matiners de LibraryThing . I haven't read any Ensler's work before. I've watched The Vagina Monologues a couple times. I knew that this was not in the same vein as her other books. But I found it just as powerful. Living through death, coming back from getting to the depths of life itself is no small task. The power Ensler finds in herself and the way she explains it, is utterly amazing. I cannot recommend this book enough. To survivors everywhere, not just cancer, but survivors of life. Ressenya escrita per a Crítics Matiners de LibraryThing . In the past I have read Ensler’s books The Vagina Monologues & The Good Body. This book was a rather touching and raw memoir chronicling her experience with uterine cancer. Having lost two grandparents and an aunt to cancer (and my mother having a scare with cancer a year before I was born) the content matter immediately appealed to me. And while a couple of times I had to stop and really focus to realize whether the writing was in the past or present it was a good book that was written in an interesting and beautiful way. Parts of it are painful to read merely because cancer is such a scary subject for most people but that didn’t make the book any less enjoyable. Ressenya escrita per a Crítics Matiners de LibraryThing . Eve Ensler best known for her play, The Vagina Monologues, has penned a very moving and at times raw memoir of her experience with uterine cancer. Ensler explains how this fast-moving and not-quite-linear memoir is similar to a CAT Scan, a roving examination. The time-out-of-place juxtaposition of presents, pasts, friends, family, despair, and hope gives the pages depth and the use of strong words are at times painful but important to read through. (note: I received my copy of this book through LibraryThing's Early Reviewer program.) Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
