I found this book simplistic and rambling in some parts, and off-topic in others. Some parts were discouraging, telling me that I just couldn't do anything about certain situations. The cover was FABULOUS. It really got my attention.It was a good thing there were pictures, because based on the written descriptions as I tried the exercises, my body position was not even close to what was being described. LOL! (Usually the pictures showed up on the next page.) Some descriptions described the exercise holding weights, but the pictures showed no weights. I still don't know how to hold the weights in one instance.Pictures in the first half of the book were not related to anything in particular; just gratuitous pictures of (cute) butts in various positions. Ok, the book IS about butts... but the pictures were not directly related to the writing. Once he got to the actual exercises, he showed, usually, only one picture of the exercise, not necessarily how you started, or how you got there, but the end result. I wasn't always able to read between the lines. Unfortunately, not ALL exercises had pictures.The author had some difficulty with the English language, and it was a bit difficult to understand or follow in some instances.I know that I will never use this book; too difficult to try to figure out the actual exercises. I'm astounded that the first few reviews were 5 stars. Were we reading the same book? Did they try to follow the exercises?
