We get it Marie Kondo, you think you are amazing
This book is crap. The author feels the need to keep bringing up the fact that she is, apparently, the perfect organizer. She talks about herself entirely too much, and once I got the part about getting rid of all of my books I was like, "NOPE!" I understand her concept that you should throw away anything that doesn't make you feel happy when you touch it, but some of her ideas are ridiculous. Get rid of most of your seasonal clothes and only keep things that can be worn year-round? I live in Maine. It gets cold in the winter and hot in the summer, so explain to me what I'm supposed to wear. I had heard some pretty good things about the Kondo Method of cleaning and I just wanted to declutter my house a bit so I bought this book, but I feel ripped off. This was not the one for me.
