It's difficult to give a traditional review of this one. The Life-Changing Magic of Tiding Up is apparently very famous, although I hadn't heard of it until I saw it myself on the shelf. As someone who counts organisation as a hobby (I know, I know...) I just had to give it a try! 
 Now, I have read some of the other reviews for this book and I don't necessarily disagree. Kondo's perspective, especially when taken literally, can come across as strange - but it's the sort of strange I love! She has a very refreshing perspective on a home and how to keep things organised and in check. I love the stories she shares about past clients and what she learned herself through her work. This book is almost more of a half autobiography, with Kondo not just giving advice, but also explaining what events and realisations contributed to her finally recommending a certain way of thinking or acting. It makes it seem so much more personal; a real combination of Kondo's life experiences and her passion in wanting to help other people. Tidying seems like a minor thing, but it can really help the mind and general well-being of a person to feel in control of their space. Kondo's enthusiasm for this subject shines in every page and honestly, I admire her so much for being so engaged in her vocation. 
 I didn't learn too much from the book, but I do feel I found a kindred spirit. Kondo herself admits in the book that her ways may be too extreme for some and everyone needs to find what is 'right' for themselves and their lifestyle. I feel anyone who wants to try something new to organise their home or needs that extra push to revitalise their home space should give it a try!
