review 1: Inspirational book with many practical applications. It's like he's preaching to the choir... I do not need converted to knowing how important it is to ignite a passion for reading in students. :) But it's nice to have my beliefs reaffirmed by another source. I especially love the idea of creating a reading lounge. Fairfield Middle School really needs one! I'm so glad our district brought Steven Layne in to speak at the start of our school year... this book was a great refresher for the ideas he presented when he spoke to us.
review 2: I am not usually impressed with professional books, and I almost never LOVE to read them. This books was the exception. As some who loves to read, this book helped me to analyze all of the reasons why and to identify the... more people who contributed to this passion and how. As a high school librarian, I felt that Dr. Laynre provides some excellent "real world" solutions to the epidemic of "aliterates," people who can read but choose not to read. His suggestions are not revolutionary but instead provide a realistic framework for focusing not on the skills of reading but instead the will to read. less
