Book Reviews of Maybe Baby: 28 Writers Tell the Truth About Skepticism, Infertility, Baby Lust, Childlessness, Ambivalence, and How They Made the Biggest Decision of Their Lives
Book Review: Some good writing. An interesting read, but not helpful for decision-making
Summary: 3 Stars
I picked this book up second hand. It seemed like an interesting topic. I must say that many of the stories presented were interesting pieces of non-fiction. These well-written and personal tales were a quick read but I found it really hard to relate to most of the writers. Many seemed overly neurotic, some merely callous. I didn't find the book helpful enough that I would loan it to any friends who were deciding on whether or not to have children. There are a small handful of gems in the book. I would recommended it only as an interesting read for non-fiction short stories if you get can pick it up at the library.
