Review # 1 was written on 2018-11-19 00:00:00 Jan Mertens I read a lot of academic books but this one was written in an especially convuluted and boring style. Seemed like I would read page after page waiting for the author's ideas and insights to emerge, but they never really did. Maybe the book is outdated or because I live in an urban city their big conclusions, such as mentally ill people don't deserve full autonomy, are ones that seem intuitive and simple. Not ideas that need 30 pages to arrive at.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-06-11 00:00:00 Chris Brown Hard to read if you've been through the NICU with a premature baby but a very good book....one to be shared with obstetricians and neonatologists to raise awareness that the impacts of prematurity don't end when you walk out the NICU door. Ruth is a tireless warrior for premature infants and their families and her book is fantastic.
