Read this for school. It's packed with incredibly useful information and I'm very glad I read it. I did not, however, enjoy reading it. The writing style is dry and sometimes confusing - and a thorough understanding of the work takes several re-reads. It is important to have a thorough understanding of research to practise midwifery - so I do see this as required reading.

I give it a 3.5 (if I could).
