My Review of Phil Nork’s Misguided Sensitivity

A yellow rose for Lisa whom he met at the bowling alley and grew up with. Red and white roses for Mary, the first girl he thought he might be falling in love with. A yellow rose for Joyce who was a lover of women but relied heavily on Phil. And of course a red rose for Star, the one who… Well, to be honest, you need to let him be the one to tell you this ballad of beauty, women you could talk to and be friends with, and the meaning behind a gift of roses. In his book Misguided Sensitivity, Phil Nork takes you through a variety of very touching, sensitive, and warmly portrayed women that helped to shape his life as a man. From his divorced mother and nurturing grandmother, to the first date, and the first love, he takes us on a journey of growth, development as a person, and deepening of understanding across the broad and varied landscape of real-life relationships.
The book is very frank and open, giving us insight into the mind of a sensitive man who cares more about the woman than he does himself. He shares with us the life lessons he learned along the way, listing them for us in a slowly built set of rules for living. You need to read it for yourself.
