| 1. | GREAT BOOK-THANKS BROOKE! |
| ((Tewksbury, MA) May 9, 2005 - 5.0/5 stars |

PPD. Brooke Shields should be commended for writing such an honest
account of what she had gone through. Having gone through PPD twice, I
had... read full review |

| 2. | Very insightful |
| (Atlanta, GA) May 31, 2005 - 5.0/5 stars |
| I thought the book was very interesting and informative. Fortunately I did
not suffer from P.P.D. but did have a bad case of the "baby blues". I
thought Brooke was very open and honest and entertaining. I'm glad she
shared her story. |

| 3. | An enormous public service |
| (ALBUQUERQUE, NM USA) May 8, 2005 - 5.0/5 stars |
| Brooke Shield's book, a quick read about a topic that is slowly coming out
of the closet, is an enormous public service. She exposes herself and her
postpartum depression utterly. I think anyone who is this frank deserves... read full review |

| 6. | Exceptional |
| (MA. USA) May 7, 2005 - 5.0/5 stars |
| Far from being a book just for women this is a book which I believe all
people can relate.
I am always wary of books by celebrities as they
are more often than not just another venue of self promotion.
However sometimes... read full review |

| (Forsyth, Georgia USA) May 23, 2005 - 5.0/5 stars |
| There have been a few other books written about this same topic but none so

feelings... read full review |

PPD.
