Informative and perfect if you have ADHD and need a non fiction that has more interactive information while setting out spaciously and interesting.

I wanted to educate myself on Dyslexia and this book helped. I myself have dyscaculia so its similar if your interested in finding our why you have the condition.

I really wanted to love this book. I enjoyed reading it happened one summer and was excited to read this but it just didn't hit my expectations. I think irs over hyped, too predictable and could have been shortened. Don't get me wrong, there were some parts of this book I enjoyed. The first part was good but I felt it slipping away.

After hearing this being recommended. I decided to give the author another try. Previously I read this girl and it was rated 3 stars. I was surprised at how well written this is. Its slow to begin with but gets better a quarter of the way through. Not my favourite author but pleasantly surprised.

This was an enjoyable read, funny, witty and a book I couldn't put down. The only reason why it wasn't given 5 stars, because I thought piper's character towards the end wasn't fully developed.
