Customer Reviews of How to Save Your Own Life

Isadora is stuck in a marriage that is dying a slow painful death. She has begun affairs with several people to help her deal with her feelings or fulfill her needs that are not being met by her aloof, detached, and psychologically dominate husband of eight years. Isadora echoes many of the feelings modern women feel in their marriage and other relationships and is often very insightful.

Also, there are a few chilling moments in the book that took me by surprise. I won't give them away you will have to read the book.

So, Erica Jong takes you on a journey with Isadora while she tries to figure out what her future will hold and how to move forward with or with out her husband. This journey has lots of sexual liasons that are heartfelt, sad, and often hillarious. She speaks the truth about her sex experiences even if we are not ready to hear it.

Isadora is a woman who has gotten lost in the forest and can't see the trees because of the forest but is on a path of discovery. Isadora will discover friendship, betrayal, love, loss, and most of all courage.

I love Erica Jongs writing style. She is a realist but at times I often wonder how much of her books are fiction or autobiographical. I enjoyed her sequal to FEAR OF FLYING and do recommend it.

A Great follow-up to "Fear of Flying".............
A great follow up to 'Fear of Flying'. Even if you haven't read 'Fear of Flying' you will enjoy this journey with Erica Jong's Isadora Wing.

Isadora is a woman on the verge of some kind of emotional realization that her marriage is over and her extra marital affairs are empty. Like 'FoF' Jong makes you feel as if you are on the same journey as Isadora, not just observing but there feeling her pain, joy, even her orgasms or lack there of.

You will enjoy her journey in this book of a woman on the verge of a reborn life as Isadora Wing, an individual woman.

This book is definetly forward and full of sex talk, but I found it open and honest. As racey and titillating as it was in some places it also had a feel of great truth and pain in sexual/emotional relationships.

Her book also had some chilling moments that you will have to read the book to experience. This is a very well written book in Jongs own unique style that I really like and I will read more of her work. Enjoy, I did.

how i saved my own life
I found out about Ms. Jong is a Salon interview this summer and decided that I had to go out and add "Fear of Flying" to my female writers repertoire, however as luck would have it, my local bookstore only had "how to save your own life," therefore I decided to read backwards and must say that her book had me 'in' for days... Nothing, not even a strapping lad ready to give me the world and blahniks at hand, could break up the conversation Ms. Jong and I shared for a week straight on my couch. Ms. Jong is a wise woman, and I suggest this read to any woman who feels her life is cracking. This book is in my top ten and I think it will be in yours too soon.
