This book has a couple of pieces of great information but it is miserable to read and doesn't make sense or flow well most of the time. You're often left wondering, "what are they talking about again?". I love studying and reading, but for once I don't want to complete the reading I've started.

This book is excruciating. The author has no respect for her reader's time or attention. She babbles away and uses twenty words where five would do. She repeats information like she’s getting paid per clause. She should stop trying to advertise her scholarliness. We deserve a text book that isn't a scavenger hunt for knowledge. Don't tell us what we don't need to know... just the facts, ma'am.

This is a very interesting book with lots of information about various disorders that effect the language of children.
