I read this book fully before starting to tidy. As with other reviews, I was surprised that pretty much everything was 'binned' in the book - no mention of recycling via Charity shops. I was inspired to sort my clothes and did get rid of many items, so it was worth getting from that point of view. Putting all like items together in one place before sorting is a really good idea. I haven't tried her folding technique and there are still many areas of my home that need attention, so I wouldn't say the book is compelling.

I don't get it. If you've got too much stuff, obviously get rid of some of it. I didn't need a book to tell me that, I needed it to tell me HOW to tidy. Apart from folding your clothes and putting them in the drawer vertically, this book doesn't excrete any gems. She also talks to her stuff before she throws it away, and repeats herself a lot. She's quite smug about the fact that she has chucked out all of her old photos, and implores you to do the same, along with old letters, cards, and other things of sentimental value. I wonder if she'll live to regret her recklessness.

This has really changed my life I have been cluttering my place for years always thought oh I will keep that I will need, now I realised I don't need most of it charities will benefit from donations also must things with tags attached will sell on eBay but still leave clutter so I am giving it away at a £1.00 per item so my friend can make something as well and I'm ridding my clutter hooray i feel my brain getting clearer

It's odd, but this book has given me permission to throw away things I had held onto for years. It has changed my mindset to items and I got the 'it's served it's purpose, thank it for that and throw it away' philosophy. That's what I needed, the permission. Although I am still to start clear-out, I am planning to do it in the next couple of weeks when I have a few days to spare, and I'm looking forward to it. But already I have shredded so much paperwork I was holding onto (for what?) that my wheely bin is 2/3 full of it! This book will work for some, but maybe not everyone. But for the cost of a book, that could be sold on after you have read it, it might be worth a try.

I was dubious about the claims of this book but due to the rave reviews I bought a copy for myself and one for a friend. It's easy to read and makes so much sense - it makes big claims but I can actually see this book changing my life! No fuss, simple yet effective. Highly recommended.
