As much as I really enjoy watching Clean Sweep on TLC and as much as I appreciated the gift of “keep, sell, trash” signs and tarps given to me by the small children a few years ago, I just did not love Peter Walsh’s It’s All Too Much.
It’s not a bad book, I just think Walsh is better in person than he is in a book. Too many exclamation marks. He said “you don’t know this or you wouldn’t be reading this book” or “you don’t believe this or you wouldn’t be reading this book” or something like that about a zillion times. And really, he’s wrong. And even if/when he isn’t, it just was not necessary to say it over and over and over again in the first five chapters of the book.
I liked it much better when he quit with the psycho-analysis and preachy stuff and moved into the “this is how you de-clutter this space” sections.
