[Wilde Sky · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book focuses on the difficult personalities found (to a greater or lesser degree) in most families.

I recognised many of the different personality types in my own family and ended up wondering where I sat in the spectrum. Even thought there was a lot on the different personality types there was, in my opinion, little practical advice on how to handle them.

My real rating is 3.5.
