I found this book to be patronizing and completely useless.
21 May 1999
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
As an adult dyslexic diagnosed late in life looking for tools of compensatation in the work force, I found this book to be patronizing and completely useless. Although the book does have an excellent reference list of agencies you can contact, the tone and content of the book suggest an incompetence on the part of the reader which is clearly a residual attitude of past misconceptions about the disability. It implies that dyslexics are self-centered individuals not capable of even the simplest task of personal grooming or intellect. Clearly not the best book for individuals trying to understand the unique way dyslexics comprehend the world.

NOT Enough information
28 Nov 2000
Format:Paperback
This review is written by someone who is dyslexic. I found the book to be a total waste of time. It was nothing but an "I'm So Sorry For Me" book. The book gave no positive outlook for dyslexics at all. There were some helpful resources in the back (maybe). My husband also read it and found it to be severely lacking in useful information.

This book helped me
29 Mar 2000
Format:Paperback
I am a young adult and I discovered that I was dylslexic just recently. This book provided comfort to me, as my condition has caused much pain in my life. I made many mistakes in my childhood that could have been avoided had my condition been diagnosed. As an adult, I was accused of a serious crime that I did not do. The good news in my life is that I now know what I am fighting. This book and others like it have showed me that I am not alone in this battle and that others have faced the same obstacles.
