great and informative book for future moms to be or for couples! the first part of the book is about birth stories. These stories bring experiences from other midwives and mothers. Through their stories, one can easily learn and assimilate that all births are different and a natural process. The second part is more technical and highlights some elements of the birth. I found this part very useful and with great information. although for moments it gets repetitive.
I barely could read this book! the characters are plain and need development. The dialogs are boring and give all explained, thus nothing for your imagination. And the sex encounters only probed to show that: oh! there are more poses than the missionary and the sex shops exists! the only thing I could highly from that book is the incredible ability of the author to become successful after writing a mediocre book! this gives me hopes and maybe I can turn into a writer too. after all, the rigor is not necessary to write (irony).
