Review of They Love You Until You Start Thinking for Yourself
[Following is a volunteer review of "They Love You Until You Start Thinking for Yourself" by Monica Omorodion Swaida.]
The author's book overall was a very interesting read. This book definitely broadened my horizons about what happens within the world and the surprising facts of what the author's view. The positive outlook the author had despite what they went through is definitely admirable. I don't think that many people have ever considered the opinions or experiences of others, yet this book made me do exactly that. This book was eye-opening, and did a marvelous job at showing what I think I believe was the main message and purpose of the book. This book is an excellent read for those wanting to consider opinions from someone outside looking in. This book has a creative out-of-the-box perspective that I really enjoyed.
But despite my intrigue and awe about this book and the author, I do unfortunately have to rate the book a two out of four rating, and an overall three out of five rating because although this book caught my attention in the beginning and towards the middle, I did start to become confused about where the author was trying to go with this book. Not only was the message confusing, but there weren't details where there should've been more, and there were details in the book that could've been shortened or otherwise weren't needed. The start of the book was interesting, but I do wish there were more details in the beginning. It was almost as if I were reading a monologue about a chronological order of events, and considering what I think is the main message of the book (or at least what the author was trying to make the main message of the book), there could've been more details added in the first couple of chapters. Towards the end of the book, there were a lot of details that I personally didn't think needed to be added. There were also some details within the book that could've either been mentioned in earlier or later chapters. Some of what was added seemed to have been in the wrong chapter or could've been mentioned in another previous chapter.
This book is rather recent, so I understand why they included some of the things that they did, but I think that it interferes with what the main message of the book was supposed to be. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but I would change the wording towards the end of the chapters, where I believe starts to confuse what is meant to be the overall message of the book. The author could have explained how those things affected them, keeping the book's message clear and easy to understand, without shifting it entirely. If their stronger opinions were explained, or even hinted or implied towards the beginning, I don't think that I would have been caught off guard as much. There was barely any mention of this in the beginning, which is why I say that I was caught off guard when it was suddenly introduced in the middle of the book, and even towards the end.
