This review is from: Driven To Distraction: Recognizing and Coping with Attention Deficit Disorder from Childhood Through Adulthood (Paperback)
Good information book per se, but the whole book could be summed up in 20 or 30 pages. The author constantly repeats the same points throughout the book, and that can make for a boring read. The book does an excellent job of covering all symptoms of ADD in great detail, but does not provide concrete solutions to the problem..IE "take medicine, get therapy and make lists to help you remember". I was expecting a more do it yourself approach with possibly some mental exercises that could help increase concentration or memory.

Good book, but very redundant
