My Thoughts: Captivating

Want to understand the female soul and how it works a little better? Captivating takes you on a journey through the female soul on how it works and how it was intended to work. This book defines what true femininity is.

Personally, after reading this, I learned a lot. I learned the three most important things that females long for. Females want: 1.) To be romanced 2.) To be rescued 3.) And to unveil their beauty. If these characteristics of women are accurate, then they should help me out a lot in life. This book taught me that women are the Crown of God’s creation. Men, and society in general, absolutely need women by their side. There is so much more that I could say that I learned about the book, but because of time constraints and lack of motivation, I will only write about the huge things.

I enjoyed this book a lot, well, at least the first half. In my mind, the first half I thought had many good insights and kept me wanting more. After that, it seemed like the book was just dragging on and the authors were rambling. The book was very repetitive and I feel that I could have read the first 100 pages and gave a good, solid, and detailed description of what the whole 200 page book was about. Some of the examples they give in the book were also a bit questionanable in my mind. At best, it was a good book, but nothing more beyond that. It does not get my highest recommendation whatsoever. I hear that Wild at Heart is much more enjoyable and better written. Maybe next summer. For now, I will give Captivating 2.95 stars out of 5. The worst book I’ve read this summer, but not a complete waste of my time.
