[Maggie]

Pretty old, so a lot of this came off as sexism to me, though it might not have been meant as such when printed. Interesting to read and think about people I know, and learn more about myself.

[Keys]

An interest read. Fun insight into personalities

[Viridiana]

Kinda depressing. I mean, pretty informative and all, but it gives you some weird feeling and I think it may probably lead to the "auto realized prophecies". Must be read with an open mind, but not 'believe' literally what is there.

[Sue]

Gives a lot of info regarding why my kids interact the way they do.

[Outnumbered09]

It's not light reading, but it was easy to follow and informative.

[Kate Gordon]

Kind of negative towards certain birth orders!
