Review - Prude by Carol Platt Liebau

My Copy of the Book

Year Published: 2007
Genre: Non Fiction

Blurb:
American girls today are forced to navigate a minefield more challenging, difficult, and pressure-filled than ever before when it comes to one vital topic: sex. Over the last decade, a new female imperative - that sexiness trumps intelligence and character at even the highest levels of influence and power - has emerged, undermining girls' sense of worth in their formative years and glorifying behaviour that is destructive to their future health, happiness and self-respect.

My Take on the Book:
I thought that there was a lot of value in this book - I ended up highlighting quite a bit. All women should have a go at reading this one - whether you end up agreeing with what is said or not. I'm not going to be saying a lot about the book here, because I'm going to be discussing it a bit on another blog post. I ended up giving this leisurely book a well deserved four star rating. 

Last Word:
For those wanting to find out my own opinions in more depth, I will be posting a link to the other blog post in my upcoming 'Week of Reading'. 

Enjoy,
Carmen.

"For f*ck's sake," groaned the old goblin. "Am I really going to die like this?" Gmok was hopelessly trapped inside the smothering darkness of his own Goblin Silver safe. The airtight lock-box was a miniature tomb made of the nearly indestructible and rare magical metal. Black Annis, that beautiful little treacherous witch, had spellbound Gmok and commanded him to climb inside the safe. She'd also robbed him of his entire life savings then she’d left him alone to suffocate and rot. A fortune in exotic and enchanted jewelry had been so easily taken from the goblin and he’d never even put up a fight. How could he? His weak and foolish mind had been manipulated by her powerful sorcery. If only he were a mage himself then maybe he could've resisted the witch's spell. This is a
