It was alright. A lot of the quotes were repetive, and some were just ridiculous. I don't think I would read it again. I just took out some of the quotes that I read (about 10 total), but the rest of the book was so-so. I don't think I'd recommed it either. I did fancy that blank pages in the back of the book that allowed the reader to jot down their own quotes; that was pretty cool. I also liked the fact that the author made it known that this was a book to passed along--although I won't be passing it along, the idea was still pretty cool.

I'm such a quote/affirmation lover and I got this book at the thrift store to see how inspirational it was. The book was okay but not fully inspirational as I thought it would probably be. Its a book with random quotes from random famous people.

I just finished this inspirational book of quotes for women. I liked about 1/3 of the quotes written. I can relate to some of them for sure. I found some quotes to be repetitive and religious. I would recommend this to anyone who needs more positive encouragement in their lives. It helps you to find your tips for your life. Pass it on.

I did not find this book empowering.

Book was a gift. Nice story. I didn't find Maria Shriver as someone I could relate to however.

I found some really good quotes in this book, some were better than others though. I enjoyed reading it so much that I read the entire book in one sitting.
