5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book - I bought it for my wife!, 28 Dec 2007

By	Terry Tozer "TJSKA.com" (Reading, Bracknell, Brighton & Hove, UK) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

I'm a self-defence instructor & recently bought this book for my wife. It's advice is excellent and presented with humour & in a very accessible manor.

I disagree with other reviewers who say that this is all "stuff we've heard before". It may seem like common sense, but the problem with common sense is that it isn't too common.

In my classes I encounter highly intelligent, educated, professional women (& men!) who still jog alone at dusk wearing a walkman. I have spoken to countless women who own mace and keep it in their bedroom drawer where they will never get to it in time.

These women are not dumb, and this level of preparedness is not unique to females either. It's just that we are not used to thinking about, "what would I do if..." scenarios. This book makes you think about these things in a very non-threatening way.

If you get one thing out of this book, and that one thing eventually saves your life - how much would the book be worth then?
