Pretty repetitive, kind of shallow. Grandin's "Developing Talents" is a LOT better, although it doesn't have pictures or an eye-popping cover. But I'd definitely recommend it instead for better content.

Quite interesting, and some useful tips.

Perfect for Aidan

[Christina Nalen · Rating 3 out of 5]

Useful but hard to get through due to the repetitiveness and nothing I didn't already know.

To the point information which was really helpful. May need to read it again in the future.
