Customer Reviews

Excellent

You are on verge of 30 - you are looking for some guidance on how to deal with the crisis you feel you are going through. Read this book!! Wow - what a breathtaking book it is. It touches on every major issue going through your mind during this time. I found it the most helpful starting at the "Brooding over Breeding" chapter and from then on to the end of the book. I know in my heart of hearts that I will survive this - this book reinforced it and validated all of my feelings. Great for your mind, body, and soul.

Helped me face myself

I don't usually read about my problems but I took a look at the Facing 30 cover and figured these authors might really get it. I wasn't disappointed. They write well (never too sappy, like so many self-help books, or too snarly, like a lot of the gen "x" writing out there) and the women they talked with are different enough to have thought about this scary time in my life from lots of cool angles. When I was done I felt calmed and amused. I've been buying this book for friends.

extraordinarily insightful

Dockett and Beck have wtitten the only serious view of the subject of the big 3-0 that I have come across. It is extraordinarily insightful and a delight to read.

in a genre of its own

I loved reading this book. It doesn't make fun of turning 30. It makes turning 30 sound fun! Beck and Dockett really did their research and speak knowledgeably about their generation. And the women they interviewed share their stories openly and humorously. All in the name of helping the confused soon-to-be-thirtysomethings. I haven't seen any other book like it.

Facing 30 Pleasurable with Dockett and Beck

If you are female, you will see yourself in the pages of Facing30. These smart and witty young authors took to task the problem ofbeing almost thirty and not having a clue what to do with yourself. In this absorbing book, you will find out why the thirties might be a more kick-a** time than ever.
