should be read by all

Great book. Coles' ideas are built upon a review of the relevant and most popular research in reading conducted in the past 50 years. Coles is fair. He cites the research, explains it, and summarizes the conclusion the researcher made. Then he says, there are other ways to interpret these findings, and explains the research from another point of view. Throughout the book I felt that Coles was talking about reading in a balanced, informed, and very insightful way.
