Customer Reviews

Aimed at Young Teens

The previous reviewer did not like this book. It should be noted, however, that this particular book is aimed at fairly young scoliosis patients, probably the adolescent just recently diagnosed. If you are looking for more detailed material or are an adult facing surgery, you should look elsewhere that is certain. However, for the young person newly diagnosed, this book seemed to me to be fairly well written and at a grade level easily understood by most preteens and teens. I would certainly be more reluctant to put anything as detailed as some of the other books in the typical young person's hands. This book is one of the few aimed specifically at young people, and covers most of the areas for young scoliosis patients.
