Rating: Summary: Marvelously Succulent Review: This book was my first "taste" of SARK, but definately not the last!! Luckily I found this book by complete accident and after just flipping through the wondefully colorful pages I HAD to have it! One of my favorite things about it are the hand-written words! NEVER have I seen anything like it! It's GREAT!! It's given me a lot of inspiration and made my creativity flow so freely! You just get this warm fuzzy feeling when you read it!
Rating: Summary: Inspiration with a capital I! Review: This book was my introduction to SARK, but it will certainly not be the last I book I read of hers. I feel blessed because I stumbled into this book at the bookstore, having never heard of SARK before. Reading her (hand-written!) words is like having a talk with your dearest friend, the one who will talk about anything and isn't embarassed by any topic. You not only can see SARK's love and appreciation for life in her writing, you can feel it being infused into your blood as you read. Her book came to me at a rather desperate, stressful time in my life, and it has lifted me to a much brighter (more colorful!) place. My wish for every woman is to read at least one SARK book.
Rating: Summary: Succulent Wild women Review: I discovered this book in the States and could not put it down....Recently at University I had to review a book and chose this wonderful book although I wondered how it would go down with the rest of the group all female some Gay ..it set them on fire and could not wait to get on line to buy there own copy.. My husband although not a succulent wild women himself enjoyed reading Sark and felt it gave him an understanding of women almost the way Nick Hornby is said to give us Ladies an insight to Men and Boys.. This book is a great gift for a female friend and a wonderful start to life for any young women.. Vivienne Robertson
Rating: Summary: See the world through SARK colored glases! Review: It's past 4:00 p.m. and thanks to SARK, I'm eating ice cream for breakfast in a moo-moo with no bigger plan than to have a Sunday. I am also an author (wrote, "MASTER DATING: How to Meet and Attract Quality Men") and am curruntly running four businesses (all of which feed my soul, but also take their toll). Making time to just relish life and living is probably the biggest challenge I face at this moment. When you read SARK's work, you can't help but smell the glorious roses. You automatically begin to see miraculous beauty and humor and love and life all around you. She grounds me. Thank you SARK! The main premis of my book is "Be who you are and be liked my people who like people like you!" This book will go a long way in helping you to find out who exactly "YOU" are. I reccomend it higly both in the pages of my book and in life. I hope that all woman (and men too) read this book, it would no doubt, change the world. If nothing else it'd be a more fun place to hang out.
Rating: Summary: BRIGHT, POSITIVE and Artistically Inspirational! Review: Sark uses color and writes herself which adds appeal to her titles. Even a non-reader would easily get through this book. A positive ride with whimsy and intelligence. Makes for a fun pick me up or a great gift book.
Rating: Summary: Succlunt and RICH One of my TOP TEN Review: It was the cover with the dancing images that caught my attention, and then I opened the cover and like a child giggled and read and anxiously waited to get to each new page. I am being reborn, struggling with fears, wants and desires and this book is a GIFT. Finally a book by a woman who is much like me in many ways. Her sections on Blocks to Succulence and Money and Power are proving to be godsends. I am about to re-read the section on Fear. Her opening statement in the money section "Relax your money is not your life" was an eye opener as I have always struggled to make money. When she spoke of the older woman who was in her 70's (page 48) and the flair she had I couldn't help but think of the late Ruth Gordon (Harold and Maude) and how I hope to be like that in my 70's. On page 51 where she says it is ok to be crabby I laughed so hard. What a true statement. Page 117 is the beginning of her section on the LIES magazines tell us. The damn magazines that say size 12 is BIG and that we must always seek perfection or that most womens <SIC> magazines have the same bloody topics, same lies but differetent Titles each month is or should be enough to get you to throw the damn magazines OUT. Hell even PLAYBOY has nice looking NON Barbie type OVER age 40 women now. The book is a godsend because it covers food issues, walking, taking time for oneself, dancing, reading, painting, gardening and other everyday pleasures we should take a new look at. The book does NOT tell you how to live you life but simply encourages you to live YOUR life by your rules and not by what others demand. I guess the author knows the TRUE meaning of "If you do not Love yourself no one else will either". Now here is a suggestion. Do you know a woman age 40 or over? Someone you adore and care for? Buy her the book as a gift. Not a gift for any other reason than a surprise and to say to her I LOVE you and value you and respect you because you are older and wiser......
Rating: Summary: she's done it again! Review: I love Sark. She inspires me to the fullest and i think that this is probably the best book she has written. (i have not finished transformation soup yet) She covers all topics: healing, sexuality, fat, creativity! I think we need more authors like her to make us feel empowered and happy and to help us realize that we can be imperfect, yet still wonderful! yay! :)
Rating: Summary: Not my cup of tea Review: I think Sark tries a little too hard. And I despise hard-nosed commercialism disguised in cutsiness. Sark encourages you to buy something else of hers on every other page of this pretentious book.
Rating: Summary: rave on sark Review: my daughters down at school turned me on to SARK...now i am turning on others...rave on rave on!
Rating: Summary: Hooray for Sark -- we need more books like this! Review: I never imagined that a publisher would produce a book that so totally deviated from the norm. The use of actual handwriting, instead of type, and doodles - and COLOR - made the book even more interesting to read. What a wonderful affirmation it brings to women!
