Extremist, Untenable, Neurotic, Demanding: 
Naturally many readers will assume I'll get Gehonim for having the audacity to criticize a book written by an Orthodox Rabbi on such a necessary topic. The presumption is that a Rabbi wrote it, and therefore, it has to be applauded as an instant classic on the subject.
Well, sorry to disappoint the literati of the Orthodox world, but life just ain't so simple. My first thought about this book was its exhaustive length...700+ pages- on Tznius? What could take up so much space? Who has the time to read...more info
A MUST HAVE FOR EVERY JEWISH PERSON!: 
I simply LOVE this book. I found it to be VERY informative and a MUST HAVE for every Jewish girl, women and yes, even MEN! Before reading this book I thought I knew what it meant to be Tznius, now I see I was not even close. I really like how Rabbi Falk gives much attention in educating children (both male and female) in the laws of Tznius and the challenges a person faces when they refuse to conform to modern ways.
There's potential for changing the world...........:
................in a book like this one. And a woman doesn't have to be Jewish to make it work. Why on earth would a woman want to attract attention that is thoroughly damaging to her self respect? Dressing in a "tarty" manner does just that and lowers a woman in the eyes of men of value. When women dress modestly people look beyond their exterior and pay attention to the real person.
Timeless Standards:
Unfortunately some of the other reviewers have fallen into the pitfalls described in the book itself. This book is the definitive guide to the laws of modesty, written by the leading authority on the subject. So many American communities have faded to such pathetic standards in this area, they find the universal standard offensive! These ARE the beliefs held by any orthodox opinion of worth, by anyone who holds the Torah's standards as TIMELESS!
