Review: Needs An Editor

I'm torn. There are a few bits of really useful information here, but the book badly, BADLY needs an editor. There was no organization and points were not "elaborated" so much as "digressed from" and "talked around". There was probably as much advice about maintaining a home and family as there was about finding time to write, and Harrison has a peculiar tendency to casually diagnose herself as mentally ill--a habit that walks right up to the boundary of good taste.Presentation was also an issue. There were a number of typos--which I can forgive--and some curious formatting inconsistencies--which I cannot. Sometimes headers were preceded by page breaks, sometimes they weren't. Sometimes they were bold, sometimes not. Paragraphs had neither indentation nor spaces between, which only served to make the whole thing feel even more rambly.Definitely worth a skim, and check out the links at the end, but I can't really recommend it. Which is too bad, because, again, there were some good snippets in there.
