Roar is a collection of thirty imaginative short stories about women. Each story centres around an anonymous woman at a different stage of her life copying with an every day issue or facing a challenge. I found some stories very relatable while others felt too bizarre. I think that every female reader will find one or two stories she will identify with, or at least recognise someone she knows who is similar to the woman in the story. The stories are a deliberately absurd exaggeration of a different situation, cleverly written and highlighting the strength and resilience of women. I wanted citations instead of sweeping statements. There was alot of sentences that started with "Recent research found", other times, the specific study was spoken about in great detail. Some consistency would have made some of this seem more believable (although I know since can be very selective). Yet from the first story - The Woman Who Slowly Disappeared, I could tell that this is a rather special collection. Brain and placental tissue can get all the glucose they need from the liver (even Hardy's previous research showed this) Currently, Apple TV+ has only directly adapted 6 out of the 30 stories in Ahern's book. Whether or not Roar becomes a massive hit on the platform, this means that there's more than enough material in Ahern's book for several seasons. For now, there's no word yet on when Roar season 2 will be officially released.
I absolutely love this book! for me an eye opener about the female body. Never thought there are such huge differences, because nobody told you about it.Raptor Contraptor is a carousel of seats in 8 pairs giving passengers the thrill of flying like a pterodactyl: thanks to the interactive experience, rider s are in full control as they swoop and fly their way through the sky. The minimum height for riders is 90cm.
If you are a woman who is into fitness, whether new to it or fairly well acquainted, chances are that this book will have something for you. Review : Thirty awe-inspiring stories that every person needs to read to understand woman, not as a gender but woman as a HUMAN BEING. Cecelia Ahern never fails to impress with her storytelling and this is what you can expect from her newly released collection of short stories.The main character in each story is commonly referred to as 'the woman' they're not even deigned names yet the stories purpose is to lift women up. It's a nice idea, but it didn't quite hit the nail on the head for me. I wasn't nodding along going, "hey, yeah I am pretty awesome and pretty and powerful in my own right and my anxieties are irrelevant!" it was more of a slow shake of the head, disgruntled at the way women were portrayed.
It goes a little murky on this is science/this is a sales pitch, and I find that seriously off putting as that makes the incentives of the author less clear. In ROAR, exercise physiologist and nutrition scientist Stacy T. Sims, PhD, teaches you everything you need to know to adapt your nutrition, hydration, and training towork with your unique female physiology,rather than against it. Admittedly, it's somewhat discouraging reading her book in the sense that you feel that women's physiology works against them in so many ways. I like the positive attitude of the book, and the focus on hydration and electrolyte intake for women, since women store electrolytes differently than men but the topic is rarely discussed, if ever. A woman’s performance can be impacted by hormones (aka where she is in her cycle). Seems like a no brainer, but not something I had really read much about. In fact, I would have thought performance would be worse during the actual menstrual cycle, but she lays out the evidence for why this is not the case.ROAR is the latest book from Cecelia Ahern and is compiled of short stories that focus on women; some are funny, some thought provoking or enlightening but they are all engaging. The release of this book is perfect in its timing of following the #me too and times up movements, in its premise being about the empowering of women - but not in a preachy way. I'm sure there's at least one story in the book that every woman can relate to. I felt as if beyond the two things I learned not much else was there. Above a few generalizations about hormones, by her own accounting, each athlete has specific needs, and the only way to fully understand what they need is to get tested and then use the results of those tests to tweak what they are doing. This is not a book to read on audio, which I did. I wish I owned a paper copy to use as a reference. Cecelia Ahern has taken a different direction in her writing with this feminist collection of short stories that celebrate women in all their glorious diversity with every story title beginning with The Woman Who. The book begins with the following epigraph: i really had no idea what to expect from this book. I don't read short story collections often, and it had been a while since I last read a book by the author.
