What Would Wonder Woman Do?: An Amazon's Guide to the Working World

2 reviews
Jennifer Traig, Suzan Colon

Chronicle Books, 2007

Only For Wonder Woman Fans...
The WHAT WOULD WONDER WOMAN DO?... book gets 4-stars only because it's a clever idea and the two authors did a nice job weaving job hunting info within a Wonder Woman story line. There are fun juxtapositions of WW comic strips along with real-world scenearios, i.e. "The Job Interview" and "Co-Workers Friend or Foe," that give readers a sense of what WW would do, and because the reader too can ...

Holt Paperbacks, 2008

"I write myself into existence."
This is a particularly focused book, a perfect addition to a writer's library, unique in structure and intent, not limited to one author's perspective, but a collaboration, useful, specific suggestions for the writing process. Staring at a blank sheet of paper, or more likely, a blank computer screen, anyone writing a memoir is faced with daunting decisions: where to start, what to include, ...

Kvit Kvetching and Become a Kvelling Balebusta
Christian Americans have had marshmallow fluff and Christmas ornaments. Jews, avoiding graven images, have evaded lots of kitsch (except for chopped liver molds). Sure, maybe you've seen Sesame Street kipahs and Nike swoosh dreidels, but what if Bezalel from the Bible and Martha Stewart mated while reading The Jewish Catalog? Naturally, you would have the Traig sisters of the West Coast. This ...

so-so
This book is ok. It didn't have that many hair styles. It would have been better if it had more picures. Its hard to do somthing without seeing what its supposed to look like. I'd recomend getting it from the library because it isn't that great.

Well Enough Alone

Riverhead Hardcover, 2008

Well Enough Alone
Funny,dry,sharp without being in any way sad. I laughed the hypochondria out of my body. I don't know why another review suggested that it was negative for Jennifer to "use an excuse" to talk about herself, isn't that what autobiographical material is all about? I would read anything this author wrote about herself. She's funnier than most authors and is an excellent writer as well. Prepare to ...

A Witty and Endearing Encounter with OCD
In this bittersweet memoir, Jennifer Traig laughs about her puzzling problems growing up with obsessive compulsive disorder in an era before OCD was a recognized disorder. With a witty humor, she describes trials that would have permanently scarred a less resilient youth. In a world where OCD is stereotyped in pop culture, TV shows, and movies it is a relief to find someone willing to provide a ...

This book was great!
This book was a good learning tool for tool for me. If you are learning to do makeup or you are a pro it is a good investment. I really like different styles that it shows you and the recapies for the lip gloss so it gets a 5 from me!

She discovers that she does not have SUDS, the mysterious disorder that claims healthy young Asian men in their sleep, nor does she have Foreign Accent Syndrome, the bizarre but real neurological condition that transforms native West Virginians into Eliza Doolittle overnight. What she does have is hypochondria. ...

Five Stars, All the Way!
I loved this book. I use it all the time. It's part of The Crafty Girl series. All the books in this series are full of clever ideas made simple with great instructions. This one is just as good as the others -- which is saying a lot.

Great book..not just for pre-teens and teens!
A friend bought me this book as a gift and I LOVE IT! Of course, not until now (while reading the online reviews for it) did it click that the book is for pre-teens and teens. Well guess what... This mid-twenties crafy girl loves it just as much! It's super fun, and the "recipes" range from easy to hard. They are great for "spa nights" with girlfriends or if you're at home alone and want to do ...
