I bought this book with the hope that some of the psychology of the adoptee would be explained - from the synopsis, which calls it a "fresh theoretical look at the adoptee or someone who might be suffering from unresolved abandonment syndrome", I really thought it would have some new ideas that could help me.

Unfortunately, the book reads like an undergrad's college essay that was written overnight - there is very little structure, there are many grammatical errors, and the author's over-emphasizing the obvious - just poorly written and every vague, general statement about adoptees or whoever the author goes on tangents about, all go unsupported.

I feel ripped off - but not because of the money - this is sloppy, with spelling errors and words omitted - These ideas aren't new - its as if not one person read this before publishing it. Such a shame, since the subject matter is so interesting.
