Review: Sorted: The Active Woman's Guide to Health by Juliet McGrattan


Did Not Finish Sorted: The Active Woman's Guide to Health by Juliet McGrattan.

I was rather excited to get started on this book when I checked it out from the library some weeks ago. After all, this is a book that focuses on women's health and I definitely am one member of this community.

The book starts off by explaining the risks of not moving and that being sedentary is bad for us as it causes damage to our body. It goes on to share the positives of being active and how regular exercise will make us healthier and reduce our risk of getting different types of diseases such as heart disease, diabetes and cancer. In short, the author tries her very best to motivate all women to get moving; to sit less and to move more.

Sadly, this guide book does not work out too well for me. Perhaps it is the font type, or the font size, or the layout, or the wordings, or even my mood, somehow, the content while I know applies to every woman, does not resonate with the inner me. What I mean to say is that this book did not manage to sustain my interest.

While I believe this book is written with the best intention of the author for all female readers, it is not the right one for me. Yes, I am interested in topics like health and exercising and lifestyle generally, but this book somehow does not cut it. I tried. I really did, but at the halfway mark, I decide that it is in my interest to part amicably with this book. So there.
