January Jones (2)

This lighthearted look at whining and the cure(s) for it, is my idea of a terrific bathroom book! Let me explain. A bathroom book is one that I pick up and put down on a daily basis while I'm in a fixed seated position. (I'm trying to be delicate, here.) Each whine is discussed and the cure for it is offered within one page. Therefore, one page could be read, and the book put down, or if you have more time, you could read on.

Each whine is placed into one of the top ten categories. Some are show more serious whines with serious suggestions, while others are quite funny. To paraphrase, when a child whines "He's still looking at me" make them both wear sunglasses. I chuckled as I read this one. Who knows? It could work.

There are definitions when needed: "Mother-in-law: A woman who destroys her son- and daughter-in-law's peace of mind by giving them a piece of hers."

Amusing celebrity quotes are included. I like books that give me cause to chuckle. show less

The concept of this book caught my interest the first time I read the description. This was a fun book to read and Jones has a great sense of humor. Although I would say some of the "advice" is often tongue in cheek about- taking sleeping pills to get through certain situations and other advice offers ideal actions to take but I highly doubt would resolve the situation that is the source of your whining. There are a few obvious gems that bear reminding such as savor the moment when you show more complain about never having enough time with the kids or another loved one.

This book will definitely put a smile on your face which will hopefully put you in too good a mood to whine.
