Looking for Mr. Right
December 6th 2006 06:35
I read this book today. It cheered me up some. Normally I hate these kind of gifty books, usually because they're full of new-agey, pseudo-philisophical crap that makes my brain leak out of my ears in frustration. Thankfully, this book wasn't one of those.
'Looking for Mr. Right' is by author/artist/photographer/jack of all trades Bradley Trevor Greive. Each page features a slightly humourous, nostalgic-styled photo. Running underneath these photos is a narrative about the general quest of women looking for mr. right. It's written in an un-showy, non-condescending fashion, with spades of good humour and warmth and good advice in general. Greive advocates self-actualisation and self-confidence, and is amusingly self-depreciating when it comes to the world of males and how we clash with our female counterparts. I was surprised to find myself agreeing with pretty much everything he says, and some of the corresponding photos are a laugh-and-a-half.
Anyway, I don't really think it's possible to write too much more about this book without over-analysing it's simple messages. It's a fun book, but meaningful too. If many women could take it's words to heart I imagine they might be a lot happier.
