Ladies' reader



I read a book called, The Ladies’ Room Reader. The Ultimate Women’s Trivia Book. This book is written by Alicia Alvrez and published by the MJF Books Fine Communications in New York. This book is well organize and interesting. It has a table of content in the first or second page follow by with a little short introduction of the world of women, then the first chapter continues. I really like the story a lot because it talks about different things that women does. Like things that entertains women, getting mulled at, facts on women, and feminine food that women would want to have. I just thought that this book is fun to read because you get to learn and hear different things from another person point of view, beside people that’s around you.

The ladies reader book would be read by people like teens and people in their early twenty to late or early thirty or maybe even men who want to learn more about women. I think that not many younger elementary student would read it because they would be young to understand what it is about. Its easier and not hard to understand the reading when you’re older reading the book. You could also somehow relates to the story when you come upon a comment or statement in the story. It is funny because of the things that are said in the book. The book also has pictures of the high hills, make-ups, purses hearts, numbers, birds, and etc. I like how it has these different picture to go along with the writing on each page.

I thought that there are a lot of statement in the story that I like. Such as, “American women spend over 5 billion a year on cosmetics and beauty supplies.” I wonder if this is really true. I think that I don’t use this much money on my beauty supplies. I think that this is funny, when designer Edith Head won the Best Costume Oscar for Roman Holiday, she said, “ I’m going to take it home and design a dress for it.” who would actually make a dress for their Oscar. I never thought of this comment before. I would like to see someone design a dress for their Oscar. Another thing that I like is this where it said that money makes the world go round. The U.S. News and World Reported tells us that women slightly outnumber men(50.4 to 49.6) in millionaire status. It’s not only because of our increased earning power, but also because we live longer than men, we end up inheriting their wealth too. These are a few that I like when I read the book.

Here are a few facts that I also like. In Little rock, men and women are prohibited from flirting on the street. The fine, if caught, is 30 days in the clink. I think that it is stupid, crazy, and dumb because it sounds really strict. Overall, I enjoyed reading this book because it was funny, had stupid facts, and other interesting information.
