Enter your comment here I didn't read it as fast as some shorter books like it is because I was trying to savor it. If you were a girl wearing glasses in the 70's or early 80's this book is for you!!

Product details

The author totally captured only what a girl with glasses I started wearing them at age 4 would have experienced before they were "in". Right now my eyeglass wearing daugther is too young to read this based on some mature content but I will save it for her!! One person found this helpful 2 people found this helpful.

Men's Eyewear: 1930s To Now

I like the way the author used the This is a review of the audio version of this book, which I got as a freebie from Audible. All in all, the book was quick and fun. I like the way the author used the glasses to tell us about her life. The anecdotes were very, very short and sometimes weren't anecdotes at all, but lists ; not sure what this looks like on the page, but each vignette Can I even call it that?

Definitely think she could have expanded on these stories and given us more details about her life. I liked the introductions to every chapter, where she quoted Daria and Lane from Gilmore Girls and a few other cool girls with glasses. Overall, I would probably have enjoyed this more if I had read the book instead of listening to it. One person found this helpful. I could not put this book down. It was so funny. I felt like I could relate to every word of it. I wanted to spread the word about this book so I reviewed it for the library newsletter, which I work.

I think everyone with glasses should read this. I was almost afraid to read it because I didn't want to be let down. This book exceeded my expectations.

Girl With Glasses My Optic History

All Girls, and, oh yes, women. This book is witty, beautifully written, and rings so true! I remember hiding behind a tree watching for my intended victim boyfriend peeking out with my glasses on, and when I spotted him, whipping the specs off, stepping out and pretending I had seen him all along.

Later came the agony of HARD contact lenses etc. The interesting part of this book is that it can be a wonderful metaphor for anything that makes anyone who is the least bit different especially teenagers. Girls out there, this book is for You! Unless, of course, you were captain of the cheer-leading squad and had mammoth boobs. Most of the rest of us barely managed to survive. This was a very enjoyable read, even though I'm a contacts girl.

I read this in 1 day, it's a quick read because it's so clever. I really enjoyed this book,,,really brought back memories. It made me smile, brought a tear to my eyes,,and had me laughing out loud,,,and happy to be a girl who wears glasses. I think one special thing about the book for me was it made me feel young again!!! This is the perfect holiday gift for any girl with glasses in your life! See all 8 reviews.
