Review: I'm recommending this book because I think we all tend to take ourselves WAY too seriously sometimes (often!), and "Succulent Wild Woman" is a great primer for showing us how to take a step back and truly appreciate the core of who we are. Besides that, it's a quick read, so not having enough time is not a valid excuse!Enjoy!

I thought this was the greatest thing I have read since Erma Bombeck, then I learned that the book deals with some issues of incest, which the author is dealing with. That part caught me off guard. I bought two copies, one to give to a friend and now I'm not sure if this is the perfect gift to give. The majority of Succulent Wild Woman is fantastic! And I recommend it, but I want people to know that she does talk about her incest experience. If I had known about this, I would have chosen a different one of her books to start with. I do like that the book looks handwritten and hand painted with neat little illustrations in and out and around the text. This is a good book for inspiring, young women. A good book to read with your daughters and talk through some of the deeper issues.

I mean, let's face it -- any book that encourages you to take naps, use vibrators, and be as loud and obnoxious as you please DESERVES extra brownie points. But there were times when I felt that Sark overdid it. When I read, I found that her "let's all dance naked and shout like the wild women we really are!"-esque phrases pop up more often that I was comfortable with. The book was very uplifting, and at times was "overly positive," which, depending on your own preferences, may or may not be to your liking. This is not a book to be read in one sitting. I think it's best read as a day-starter (perhaps a few pages each morning to get you going). The pages are all written in Sark's handwriting, and some of them are watercolor (which, as a sometimes unfocused reader, I found to be helpful). If you liked this book, I would recommend reading "Spilling Open" and "Brave on the Rocks" by Sabrina Ward Harrison.

Because that's the only reason I have this book--it was a gift. What in the world is this SARK person on...Prozac? Is she free-basing St. John's Wort? Intraveneous coffee drip? I don't know, but there is one thing she could definitely use--an editor. What a waste of paper.
Rating: ![1 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-1-0.gif) Summary: bleh Review: There is nothing in this book that hasn't been said already in other self-help type books. It is just packaged in an overly cutesy way. Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see the appeal. It doesn't help that I don't like being referred to as succulent and juicy. Skip it.

Rating: ![5 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-5-0.gif) Summary: Succulent Wild Woman - Sark Review: I just wanted to share my feelings on this book. I ordered it and the day it came in the mail I opened it read the first couple pages, couldn't put the book down. It is extrodinary, uplifting, clever and Sark is truely a one in a million woman who knows how to express herself well. It is a self-help, entertaining book that makes you laugh, stimulates your brain and gives you optimistic outlooks. I needed this book. It has helped me. Also, when I purchased the book, I didn't even know about Sark, who she was or anything about her and she is very interesting from what I read. I highly recommend this book.
Rating: ![5 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-5-0.gif) Summary: Life changing! Review: This was the first book I have read by SARK and it really made me think about what I want to become as a person. I have arranged to go on my first solo trip (one of her suggestions) and I just feel like a more well-rounded, intelligent woman after reading this book. It was so hard to put the book down- I just lost myself in it. I have suggested it to all of my single friends! A definite "must read!"
Rating: ![5 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-5-0.gif) Summary: Sark is awesome Review: This was the first book I bought by Sark and it definitely hooked me. I bought 2 others and this one was by far the best I have read so far. It's the perfect book for those that like to just flip it open to a random page. Sark shows the way to becoming a Succulent Wild Woman in a humorous, understandable and simple form.
Rating: ![5 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-5-0.gif) Summary: this book will awaken your inner child Review: I identify with many, many aspects of this book, for I am a woman who is a little too intense for most people. Every woman I know can benefit SARK's reminder to rejoice in the female aspects of themselves, rather than apologizing for them. I stumbled across the title while browsing Amazon and added it to my 'Wish List' on a whim. My brother (the only person in the world that has a clue about my tastes in books and music) gave it to me for Christmas. I know I will purchase more of her books.
