Title: Lots of Cutesy Fluff Interspersed with some Useful Info
Review: This could have been a more effective piece of work if the editors at Heinemann,the publisher, would have done a better job of curtailing the extensive droning on by the co-authors regarding their conversations and their moment-by-moment descriptions (I awake, I sip my coffee, I gaze at the overcast sky, my thoughts go back to yesterday, etc.). The practical and useful information, some of it helpful and some marginal, is buried within pages of this type of meandering. The author's seem determined that all practical information be presented within flowery, cutesy stories. I took notes as I read the book and discovered no new earth shattering information. Good reading teachers who read this book will find that they are already doing much of what is being prescribed by the authors.
Is the review positive or negative?
