"BORING!! My goodness I didnt think that a book could get anymore boring! Don't bother buying this unless its compulsory reading! For such an interesting subject this book has definately fallen below expectations."

"This book is ideal for those people that haven't got a clue what child development is all about, and/or those that need further grounding on it.
The first few chapters build up a little background knowledge to psychology in general and the history of child delevopment, so those of you that know relatively nothing aren't thrown in at the deep end.
It is both comprehendible and quite easy to read. Jargon is explained and psychological models are illustrated clearly and plainly. It lacks nothing. All areas are covered in sufficient depth and reference to interesting research has been included to keep your attention focused.
All in all; worth buying.
