5.0 out of 5 stars A very important book, April 19, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Living on Your Own (Life Skills) (Library Binding)

The purpose of this book is to instruct adults who can only read at a very low level how to live. The information is presented in a very pleasing and attention-holding way and comes across very professionally. I found it instrumental in my volunteer adult education work, and my students found it successful and helpful as well.

This is an excellent book on independent living for people with low reading skills who are learning to survive on their own. The content is easy to understand and empowering.

This review is from: Living on Your Own (Life Skills) (Library Binding)

This is truly a stupid book! I would give it no stars, but one is the minimum. It is 28 pages long. Each chapter is ONE page. Each chapter has a full page picture associated with it. There are 12 chapters. It starts on page 4. The one page is not always completely filled. The main idea for each chapter is contained in the first sentence. Here are some examples: Chp. 2 "Most people who live on their own need jobs." Chp. 4 "People who live on their own chose places to live." Chp. 9 "People who live on their own must do chores." Chp. 11 "People who live on their own choose how to spend their free time." This "brilliant" book took two authors to write. But, they couldn't do it alone. They needed an Assoc. Professor at Mankato State U (wherever that is).
