Book Reviews of An Adult Child's Guide to What's 'Normal'
Book Review: Not Useful, Barely Comprehensible Format
Summary: 1 Stars
A year or so ago I bought a bunch of self-help books blindly online, with the hope they would represent their titles and be of some use to me personally.
Of them, this is the weirdest. It consists of numerous chapters that are only one or two pages long each! That alone is a very strange format, but the content tends to be very uninformative and strange. I'm definitely of the opinion that self-help theories should be elaborated on, that's why one buys a self-help book, isn't it? But the author rambles, introduces new buzzwords at will, and there is none of the sort of elaboration or system here someone who is looking for help would want. Save your money and look for leading recommended books for your problems.
