1.0 out of 5 stars Too much fluff and Irrelevant Ramblings Jan 12 2001
Format:Paperback
This review is obviously going against the general consensus here, but I'd like to put in my own 2 cents.

The two authors of this book, neither of which are Medical Doctors, attempt to explain what Adult ADD is and what you can do about it. Unfortunately, they seem to have failed miserably to accomplish that goal. The book if full of fluff and irrelevant ramblings. It goes off in different directions (well, it was written by two ADDer's after all), contradicts itself repeatedly and blames virtually everything on "your disorder". The book smacked of the support group mentality where people come up with all sorts of theories in an attempt to rationalize why something happens.

I'm surprised the book got published at all considering the writing ability of the authors. The book lacks flow, is monotonous to read and the frequent use of exclamations becomes annoying after the first few chapters. I found myself flipping through the pages trying to get to the good stuff; unfortunately, I never found it.

I am not a doctor or a writer. I am a person with adult ADD, however, and did not find this book very helpful. I suggest you try to borrow a copy from your public library before spending your hard-earned money. Otherwise, there are a few other books on Adult ADD written by people far more qualified in this field.

This series of books are what should be taught in school in order to inform at an age when good habits can be taught and learned before we get into debt in the first place!

4.0 out of 5 stars First line of attack! Mar 19 2012
Format:Paperback
This book was very helpful in that it was the first book that I read on the subject of Attention Deficit Disorder.
I would recommend it for anyone who has a new diagnosis of ADD/HD or for family and friends who want to support the person diagnosed. The chapter on medication was a bit over my head but it might not be so for everyone. This is a very good first book on the subject.
