- reviews
- premium: True
- source:
- content: As narrator, the author sounds like she's trying too hard to express the right amount of emotional emphasis and to sound accepting of her listeners' conflicts. But for most listeners, her thoughtful advice will predominate, allowing them to accept this audiobook as a practical guide to developing reliable cleaning routines. A veteran blogger (aslobcomesclean.com), she's supremely knowledgeable about every possible cleaning issue. Her empathy and lack of judgment will help people be more honest with themselves about what makes them feel good, instead of getting stuck in oppositional or self-punitive patterns. Her shtick is admitting that she's a slob, so her conversational sharing and practical suggestions, if not her performance, will help listeners feel like they're connecting with a helpful support group, rather than just listening to an expert.
