Worth Reading - Well worth reading, especially for women, and not necessarily older women. Of course, all of it applies to men, too. Insightful and hopeful. MH

Title is more interesting than the book - I liked the title, but I'm having a hard time finding interest in the book..The book is all about defining the word "crone" as just a wise, fun,etc. older women... I got the gist in about 5 pages and I could not keep interested... I skipped around the book looking for more, but there wasn't.

Love It! - This book provides a whole new philosophy of an aging woman along with tips on how to make it a great time in life. The author uses humor to make points. Once I started reading it, I couldn't put it down. As a 55 year old woman, the rest of my years are looking up following the 13 steps listed.

Highly Concentrated - I have found wisdom and guidance in Jean Shinolda Bolen's books since I read "Crossing to Avalon" many years ago. This book is short and pithy. Very short and very pithy. It is, in fact, concentrated...like sun-dried tomato paste or pomegranate syrup. My own desire would have been for more depth and development, but its advantage as it stands is in an almost haiku quality. I read it, one chapter a night, for several nights and reading it that way makes it a form of meditation. I suspect it would be a delightful gift from one woman in the crone years to a younger one just entering that stage of existence. If you are looking for honesty, humor and challenge, this is your book. However, if this is the first Bolen book you read, don't stop here! Pick up one of her others: "Goddesses for Older Women," "Crossing to Avalon," "Goddesses for Everywoman," and delve even deeper into her ideas.

Crones Love Life - Growing older in this society is a badge of honor. Bolen is a great read.
