Year 4, week 35: What Would Frida Do

This week's book:
What Would Frida Do: A Guide to Living Boldly
By Arianna Davis

This book was a Book of the Month book and I actually sought it out, not an actual pick for a certain month. When I saw the title and subject matter I knew I wanted to pick it up. My older sister has always loved Frida Kahlo, Mexican culture in general, but really Frida in particular. She has been to Mexico a handful of times and even got married there. 

This book was supposed to be a biography of sorts with a little self-help peppered in. If you have seen the film Salma Hayek made in 2002 named Frida you pretty much already know most of the same information that this book tells you. Or if you have even a little insight about Frida and her husband Diego, it's pretty basic information. It seems like this book could have been a person's term paper about Frida; there are quotes in big fonts and tables of different information about the artist. You can tell the author loves all things Frida and wanted to share all she knew. 

I would say if you wanted to learn more about the famous Mexican artist and didn't want to read a full fledged biography about her, I would suggest that you pick this book up. Even though I knew most of the information that was included in the book, I really did enjoy it.
