A Great Book For Young Women

4 out of 5 stars

I know that I am by far not the target audience for this book but I still enjoyed it. I was a huge Mythbusters fan and I did enjoy White Rabbit Project so when I saw that Kari was writing a book I had to have it.  When I saw that she was releasing an audiobook and narrating it herself I was even more excited.

Crash Test Girl gives life lessons from a woman who’s “crash tested” her way through life’s major and minor decisions. It is full of advice on how to be a strong and modern woman in these new times and how to stand up for yourself in both life and at work. Being a feminist I loved the advice that she is giving young women out there.

I did find a lot of her backstory interesting.  I didn’t realize how little I knew about her until I got about 2 hours into this book.  She is a fascinating study in doing things her way and crashing into the right decision (or finding out its the wrong one and owning it).

I knew when I watched Mythbusters that Kari being part of the show was important, but as a male I wasn’t sure just how important.  I’m glad that someone convinced her to write a book and I hope that teachers and parents are smart enough to let their students and daughters check this book out.  I think they’ll enjoy it and learn to be stronger and more well-rounded women for it.
