review 1: I think that it was a fairly well researched book. However I don't quite know how to say this, but the author seems to view the partners of those with the disorder as victims. I don't see myself as such in spite of the fact that my partner has AD/HD. Some tactics in the book for dealing with the person are helpful, but seem contrived. A better read for those who are effected by AD/HD is "You Mean I'm Not Lazy, Crazy or Stupid?" which a friend referred. All in all, an okay read for starters, but those in dire need of a little sanity amongst the craziness, there are better guides out there.
review 2: This book has the distinction of being informative and entertaining at the same time. I actually gave it to my husband to read first, since he is the one living with
... more an adult with ADD, which this books focuses on. He dog-eared every other page, and ran a yellow highlighter through every third paragraph... "What'd you thiink?" I asked him. "I could've written that book!" was his answer. As I read it, I found myself laughing aloud at the humorous anecdotes (Most of which I could comPLETEly relate to!) and mentally taking notes on coping skills and tips. A very good read for anyone dealing with ADD or dealing with people with ADD. less
