This book was an eye opening look into the heart of dyslexia. My son is dyslexic and so much of this book reminds me of him. Luckily, he is growing up in an era where there is plenty of accommodations available to help him. The emotions of this book are so real. Thank you for expressing to me what my 12 year old cannot.

Really opened my eyes to understanding dyslexia, but I felt he spent too much time whining and blaming everybody else for his problems rather than focusing on how he overcame them.

It gives a person the understanding what a person who has dyslexia, and what he/her goes through.
