I liked the easy to read layout which made selective skimming easy, but the book is now very dated being 20years old, putting a lot of emphasis on brain gym, Gardner's intelligences and VAK learning. I've picked up some things I'm keen to use but overall I feel sure there are better books out there that do the same job. It seemed to be a general teaching practice guide for the most part rather than focusing on vulnerable learners.
