Mother Warriors: A Nation of Parents Healing Autism Against All Odds
by Jenny McCarthy
by Jenny McCarthy
Zero Stars. So I read this knowing I would disagree with most of the content but tried to have an open mind in order to understand the anti-vaccine movement better and to learn some of the arguments, and perhaps I would find it entertaining...oh, and it was also $2. Unfortunately not so. My heart really does go out to parents of children with autism. This book does a disservice to these people however by misleading. She clearly jumps around with conflicting positions, unrelated arguments, and unfounded contentions. She allows different "mother warriors" to get their stories out (which although moving to hear of the difficulties, becomes fairly repetitive without adding anything of substance to the argument or central point of the book). It becomes quite clear very early that it is merely a propaganda forum and also a highly commercialized advertisement for various companies and unfounded "cures". I can go on and on about her flawed arguments but I am sure that has been done all over the internet
(http://scienceblogs.com/insolence/200...) , however what I was hoping to get out of this book was at least a perspective from the other side, a view to why they believe what they believe. Instead I got a ranting, f-bomb dropping playboy model who failed to make one fair and logical argument.....granted I expected that.
