"Arianna Huffington doesn't mince words and she has written a book about embracing life as a woman, in all aspects. A couple of chapters are a little tedious but overall the book is great. Clearly she walks the talk as the Huffington Post is her success. "

Pigs at the Trough Listener Reviews
-
" I don't understand this woman. I wish she would stop writing. She's not good at it. "
— Alysha, 11/16/2013 -
" It was interesting to read this now because it compares to the current financial crisis. Many CEO's and businesses acted in the same manner as the organizations mentioned in this book. Also, it was witty. "
— Danny, 9/3/2013 -
" This five-year-old book should be required reading. The concepts the author discusses directly led us to the economic crisis in which we now find ourselves. "
— Deborah, 6/5/2013 -
" This book is hilarious and eye opening. Another reason to hate "the man." "
— Rebecca, 4/26/2013 -
" Arianna Huffington knew about Wall Street greed long before the fall of our economy. When our jobs went overseas and our CEO wages went sky high, the writing was on the wall. "
— Janet, 11/30/2012 -
" A good read, especially if you want a broad overview of how business has co-opted politics (in detail) and you enjoy some humor to leaven your outrage. Arianna is a gifted writer and the book is well researched. "
— Jahan, 10/17/2012 -
" Not a big fan of the author but she does a good job on this one. Overview of corporate excesses and greed. "
— Rich, 4/2/2012 -
" Early Huffington.... she had it pegged! "
— Steve, 1/16/2012 -
" I don't know what some of the negative reviews were about. Personally, I read it just for Arianna's sarcasm and mockery. Now I can't go 12 hours without checking huffingtonpost.com. "
— Bill, 1/15/2012 -
" This is full of great information but the writing isn't very good and it's very slow reading. "
— Matt, 11/9/2011 -
" Great for any woman struggling to become 'more'. "
— Jeanie, 6/16/2011 -
" Yes, I actually read this. A family member gave it to me, saying she thought it was helpful. Not too helpful, but not badly written. "
— Lani, 5/12/2011 -
" got this book for free and realized after that i would have paid for the book. it was very good. the author is someone i admire and her stories are interesting and translatable. "
— Tami, 10/7/2010 -
" Good insights into the way women behave. Got tedious at the end, but opened my eyes to some interesting information. Hope I can remember to use it! "
— Jennifer, 8/28/2010 -
" Huffington has that Joseph Conrad quality of "holy shit, how is someone writing in Engish as a second language with such clarity and precision?" She's candid and self-aware, and it's really a good read. "
— Jill, 6/2/2010 -
" Very well done book. I couldn't put it down "
— Vickie, 3/25/2010 -

— Anita, 4/30/2009 -
