This was book would be good for someone who does not have experience with Learning Disabilities. If you are unaware of the struggles students go through or what teachers need to do for the students - this would be a good for them. Since I work with LD students every day and have my Master's degree in Special Education: Learning Disabilities, it was not very interesting for me. I was hoping for new information or a more personal story.

I had to read this book for my Special Education course. I have to admit that it was hard to read because nothing in it made me want to read more. It wasn't inviting and I felt a lot of it was repeated. On a brighter note, I did learn a lot about how learning disabilities effect the lives of individuals and the struggles they face on a daily basis. It's a good book to gain information on a personal level.

Excellent insight to what it is like to live with a learning "disability." I have recommended this as a teacher to parents of children overcoming learning challenges.
