The case renders the side button to switch phone to silent inaccessible. Very disappointing indeed, especially as the packaging was opened before the fault was noticed.

"Before Salman Rushdie had that problem with a certain religious-political figure with a serious need to chill out.."

I'm sorry, what? I'm a middle of the road Christian and I find this comment really unnecessary and- frankly- offensive. Grow up. Focus on the book in hand, you immature little brat.

Firstly, I can't deny that plenty of the advice given in the book is solid and sensible, however I find the author's tone aggressive and rather off putting. I bought the book because I'm a big fan of no nonsense advice, but I think this book is far too curt and highly opinionated.

Like all baby books, if you agree with the author I'm sure you'll think she's a saint. However, if you have an overbearing mother/aunt/mother in law you could save £8.99 by inviting them round for tea rather than buying this book. I personally will be sending it to the charity shop and avoiding reading any more 'baby bibles'.
