Is it insightful?  5 Stars
Good statistics on the prevalence of disabilities in society. Outlines seven practical themes in facilitating relationships with people with disabilities. Great tips on how to interact with those with a disability, what to say, and what to do.

Is it creative?  5 Stars
Book is chock full of examples and real-life applications, i.e. how Walgreens distribution centers employ an average 35% of people with disabilities. Examples do a great job of reinforcing key concepts.
 
Is the well written?  4 Stars
Read in about two hours. Author communicates concepts simply and concisely. There were some formatting issues on Kindle that could have been resolved by simple proofreading. 

Is it a page turner?  4 Stars
Book covered a lot of turf on disability inclusion. As a reader I was looking forward to what angle the author was going to cover next. What would have made it better is if the author’s personality came through in her writing. It read too much like a research paper; couldn’t really discern the author’s voice.
