review 1: I was reading this as a child, not as a parent, but this book was incredible. I can relate so much to this man's story. My mother read it, and she said that it was like reading my story - I want to thank Todd Rose for this, and I would recommend this book to anyone is a kid who "thinks outside the box" and parents raising said kids. This was brilliantly written, and was something I could relate to personally.
review 2: Eh? ADHD kid goes from high school dropout to Harvard professor while his family lives on the brink for more than 10 years. While he is the absolute picture of my son, down to the core, and I share much in common with his wits-end mother, beyond that, the book told me nothing I did not already know. Swapping chapters or sections of self-reflect... moreion with current trends in research, the book seemed choppy and shallow in places. I have read better books on similar subjects (Gladwell's Outliers), read more meaningful books on education (anything by Jonathan Kozol), and better books on psychology. If you're new to the ADHD family and at your wit's end and need to know that there is hope for your child, this is a great book to read. If you're looking for a good book or deeper answers, choose something else. If you need to read something for an education or psych class, this is a short, easy read that should fit the bill nicely. less
