I agree with Feste that it isn't well written. I borrowed the book and returned it, so I can't quote. But if I could, I'd give you lots of examples. (If anyone wants to scan a couple of pages and post them, I'll pick some out.) I'll point out one structural problem with the writing: The narrative is disconnected; the transitions between one event and another are weak and sometimes almost nonexistent. She describes going to this place and that place and the other place without any explanation of why she went and what she was doing when she got there. Also, for readers who haven't been TMers, there's not enough explanation of the movement, how it's organized and what its programs involve. Basically, it doesn't seem to have been written with its readers in mind; there isn't much sensitivity to what they need to know to make sense of the narrative and put the events in context. > > --- On Sun, 2/6/11, feste37 <feste37@...> wrote: > > > From: feste37 <feste37@...> > > Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: Judith Bourque coming to Los Angeles > > To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com > > Date: Sunday, February 6, 2011, 8:40 PM > > > > > > If you think her book is well written, you must have very > > low standards. > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, > > "Rick Archer" <rick@> wrote: > > > > > > From: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com > > [mailto:FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com] > > > On Behalf Of seventhray1 > > > Sent: Sunday, February 06, 2011 5:09 PM > > > To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com > > > Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: Judith Bourque coming to > > Los Angeles > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, > > "feste37" <feste37@> wrote: > > > > > > > I feel compelled to comment that Judith's book is > > a very amateurish effort > > > and is littered with errors of all kinds on every > > page.
