5.0 out of 5 starsUnmissable. Heartbreaking. Insightful. BUY THIS BOOK!
Reviewed in Australia on 4 April 2020
I’m just over half way through this book but I couldn’t wait a moment longer to leave a 5 star review.

This is a book for the ages. A masterpiece of contextual thinking. One that makes you feel everything, think differently about everything and bask in the genius and sensitivity of the literary delivery.

I learned about Glennon on Brené Browns podcast, which was beyond interesting, but contained only really a glimpse of her deep insight and inspiring humility.

This book is a collection of stories, metaphors and musings that could not be more relevant to the current socio-cultural climate.

I am learning, growing and feeling deep grace with every page I read.

If you are sitting there trying to decide whether to purchase this book - you must! It is an investment in yourself, your family and your role in the future of humanity.

Thank you Glennon for such a groundbreaking piece of work. 🙏🏻

2.0 out of 5 starsProsaic !
Reviewed in Australia on 16 October 2020
I only read the book for bookclub and I found it's hard to believe that it has such good online reviews. I appreciate the honesty of the author sharing her lifestories and the interesting angle for the beginning of the book, but the book itself seems lack of content. The structure of the book reminds me of reading these inspirational book. It keeps repeating the same thing in different formats throughout chapters. The language was dull and prosaic.

Glennon Doyle acknowledges all of our deep seated thoughts, opinions and frustrations in an open letter to the world asking why are we living our life the way we are currently. When you finish this book you will view the world and yourself differently, in a really good way.

I got the audiobook and really struggled to finish it since I thought it was a load of rubbish. Lots of empty rambling. It was a waste of time.

1.0 out of 5 stars Fairly focused on motherhood
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 July 2020
Verified Purchase
I really wanted to love this book after friends raved about it. It just didn’t grab me in the same way, I didn’t even finish it. In particular I felt it very geared towards mothers, and motherhood being the thing that saved her, and motherhood being pretty much the be all and end all. It may have got better, but I was so irritated I stopped reading half way through. Great if you are a mother, very exclusive if, for any reason, you are not and might feel sensitive about that. Just not for me.

5.0 out of 5 stars I am officially untamed
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 March 2020

So I have followed Glennon’s journey having first seen her on Oprah’s Super Soul Sunday. I enjoyed Love Warrior and in the face of all the life changes she has gone through since then - which I’ve read about online - I was initially unsure whether the book would tell me anything I hadn’t already heard about her story.

I was so wrong.

Quarter of the way through I was texting my best friend saying “you have to read this”. Several pages later I was like “I’ve not even finished it and I’ve already ordered you your own copy”. I read it cover to cover TWICE in one weekend. The second time with a highlighter

What is so great about it?
- her message for women and how easy it is to get trapped in lives that aren’t REALLY who we are
- her message for young girls - and the great story of how Abby coached their daughter through sport that sometimes you have to do hard things that you don’t want to do in order to get to what you DO want
- her message for boys that they owe responsibility to their families and to muck in with all the chores at home
- her message about online porn and what it does to young people’s brains if they’re not taught healthy messages about sex

I could go on. But I won’t. Cos you should hear it from Glennon not me.

It made an immediate difference to me. I got up and out and asked for what I wanted in an area of my life. And lo and behold it looks like I’m gonna get it

Be untamed.

1.0 out of 5 stars Really boring, can't finish it
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 May 2020

This book is very boring, don’t understand how it got so many good reviews, the story is just so average. I was in a flow of reading good books and now I’m stuck with it. I will try to finish Just because I bought loads of books and I hate to don’t finish anything but I would definitely not recommend to anyone. Read “Return to love” by Marianne Williamson, now that is inspiring.

3.0 out of 5 stars Some great sections
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 September 2021
Verified Purchase
This book is one I read slowly and I started to enjoy it a little more after hearing Glennon recite sections of it on a podcast with Brene Brown. The tiger section is particularly excellent however some others such as 'giving up' on her second child and letting them go to town on screen time annoyed the heck out of me. I found some parts very, very preachy in tone and this is not a compliment. I was about ready to give up on this when she was on Brene's podcast and that was the reason I returned to finish it. I think most people seeking out books like this are on the journey to living a whole-hearted life and so Glennon's aggressive tone of writer's voice irked me a LOT.
I think 3 stars is very fair.

Five stars is not enough. This is the book I’ve been waiting my whole life for. These are the words I needed to read. Just finished and already I want to go back to the beginning and absorb it all over again.

Self indulgent assertions of self fulfillment whilst simultaneously proclaiming main raison d'etre is her relationship. Without that 'saving' relationship she'd still be as lost as ever. Only book couldn't bear to finish. And I tried. Twice.

1.0 out of 5 stars absolutely dreadful. How did it get published?!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 January 2021

I had to buy this to read for my bookclub. didn't even finish it! Doyle comes across as self obsessed and egotistical, and the stories within the book are mediocre at best, and don't really teach you anything new at all.

I really can't understand the hype that this book has.
