Review:
I really enjoyed this book. It’s very similar in design to What to Expect When You’re Expecting. I found the layout of the book very easy to follow and read. It provides just enough information as an introduction to the chapter topic to help the reader get an idea of what is coming next. This introduction is then followed by questions from women – and answered by the authors – pertaining to the topic at hand. These questions work to instruct its readers in what to expect at the menopause stage of the life cycle. They also provide little tidbits of history and other useful tips regarding how to travel through menopause. This format is repeated throughout the chapters and book allowing the reader to pick the book up and start reading wherever they need to.
There was much research done for this book including the authors’ attending seminars, scouring through copious articles, interviewing the best people in the field and spoke at length to “real people” such as “…friends, friends of friends, neighbours, colleagues, members of our book clubs, church sodality groups, even the occasional unlucky soul who sat next to us on” aeroplanes.
Recommend for: Overall I liked this book enough that I recommend it to all women 45 years and above. It is a book worthy of being added to any woman’s book shelves.
