Reader Reviews
Perspective of a soon-to-graduate direct-entry midwifery student: I would rather read almost ANY book rather than this one. I know some of you have to buy it like I did, but if you don't *have* to, don't. My toddler ripped a few pages out of it, and honestly, instead of getting upset that she had totally messed up a $100 book, I was kind of glad she did it, because I hate this book so much. I'd rather read anything by Anne Frye, Myles, heck, even Williams over this thing. It is boring as all get out, completely non-dynamic, there's no glossary, the index stinks, there are no words in bold or anything, no little case studies in a box beside the text... I mean NOTHING to relieve the monotony of the tone. Gag me with a spoon.
