Short and thin

I appreciate the sentiment behind this book, I’m a professionally diagnosed dyslexic myself who has benefited from knowing I was dyslexic my whole life.

While this book is an easy read for a dyslexic and even a child it’s almost too simplified. Half the pages are quotes, it’s very repetitive and it is certainly not a guide.

Most of the knowledge is anecdotal and feels much more a way to boost confidence in someone who is ashamed of being dyslexic, so if you’re self conscious about it then this is the book for you.

What you will not find is a deeper learning about what makes someone dyslexic and deeper insight into their strengths and weaknesses. It is simply a book that gives top level views of strengths and weaknesses in different areas and is extremely repetitive to the point that I just started to skip over sections.

Please be a bit more scientific/academic in your approach as I found this book to be disappointing and almost a bit patronising in how it has been oversimplified. But hey maybe that works better for some people.

Amazing book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 October 2021

I have as the writer suggests the amazing Kate Griggs dipped in and out of the books so far. I cannot wait to review the video links available . I have literally skimmed and was so excited about the content and how informative the book is. I have a knowledge of dyslexia and the book has already in a short while blown me away with how Kate has put her depth of knowledge in this book this will be a book I cannot put down . I cannot wait to share the contents in my workplace and the community thank you Kate a fascinating book and hopefully will
Impact the journey and goal
Of achieving the desire I know I cannot wait to share the word and engage and make schools and workplaces aware of this invisible talent of dyslexia

Slightly disappointed

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 November 2021

Verified Purchase

Been following Kate Griggs for a long time so i was a little excited when I heard about the book. Now i am half way through with no real plans to finish it i can honestly say i am slightly disappointed. Most of the book is just quotes from famous people. I feel it repeats itself a lot and overall i just dont find it educational or interesting. I dont feel inspired by it either.

I am happy books like this exist and people who dont have dyslexia and want to understand dyslexia should read it but i am sorry Kate but i just don’t enjoy it.

More heat than light

Dyslexia isn’t the same thing as dyspraxia, dyscalcula, and whatever the musical equivalent is…. Each of these “dys-“ conditions is distinct and deserves to be considered, understood, approached, differently. It doesn’t help to bundle them together, EXCEPT to make the point that none of them should be allowed to outweigh other abilities (indeed talents). Most of us have an intriguing mixture of things that come easily to us or don’t. It helps to be aware of them, to avoid unnecessary barriers and develop the skills we do have.
The author allows her militant passion to get in the way. Presented like a bludgeoning self help manual, the book inevitably defeats its own ends. Sad, because it ought to be a valuable contribution to an increasing awareness of the rich variety of our abilities.

Not bad not great

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 March 2022

Verified Purchase

Firstly, it’s fantastic that such books are being published to ensure a wider understanding of dyslexia is available and accessible. However the book is flooded with scan codes, which I’m not interested in. It’s very repetitive in various statements throughout, and it doesn’t provide the deep learning I was hoping to attain.

Additionally, it’s frustrating to find a number of typos (which makes my dyslexic brain go wild, as I can’t work out if I’m reading it wrong, or it’s just written wrong!) inconsistencies in capitalisations (maybe I’m missing something here? Just seems unnecessary). This may be an editor problem moreso, just surprised to see this, especially in a dyslexia book!

There certainly are other books available that are arguably better value, such as “the dyslexic advantage”.

A MUST READ FOR ANYONE WITH DYSLEXIA OR KIDS WITH IT TOO....

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 October 2021

Verified Purchase

WOW!!! What can I say, I read the whole book in one afternoon, I couldn't put it down. This book is incredible, so well thought out, the book is interactive too with the excellent idea of using Q codes to break up the reading process. I didn't know there were other people like me, I thought this book was written about me it was so on point. It has opened my eyes and will also help me with my own kids too. what else can I say apart from THANK YOU Kate.

A great book, very inspirsing and motivating

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 October 2021

Verified Purchase

This book has not been printed in Times New Roman Font and is very dyslexic friendly to read. Plus, it also has QR codes that link to videos making it very easy to create a bigger picture of dyslexia without all the reading. A must-have book for anyone, to learn more about dyslexia or even if you have the amazing dyslexia superpower.
