I was recommended this book after suffering a stroke, brain damage and left side paralysis at 17 due to electrocution. I was struggling with a possibly bleak future. Reading the stories of others, I realized my life was not over. I fought to regain what I could. This book helped to inspire me during a very dark, hard time of my life. I could not even read it myself the first time because my eyes were still so badly damaged. Now I recommend it to others dealing with huge shifts in cognitive abilities. Our lives change forever but it's inspiring to know we are not alone. We are extremely resilient individuals.

Barbie is initially presented as an entertaining and charming film; however, it quickly deviates from its original tone and promotes a divisive form of feminism, resulting in a lack of coherence in its storyline. The movie fails to address inconsistencies in the plot and suffers from disjointed pacing. It purposefully undermines the concept of equality or respectful coexistence between men and women. I was astounded that my husband endured the entire film. If it weren't for our child, we would have left the theater. The film portrays every male character as unintelligent and oblivious. It seizes every opportunity to assert its perspective while subtly critiquing areas where gender equality should be emphasized. This message was inappropriate for this platform, and I appreciate that most of these underlying themes went over my daughter's head. If the roles were reversed in this film, the overall reception would likely be significantly different.
