Not typical light summer reading. But I wouldn't have time during the school year. Dr. Scheiman is clearly making an effort to write for his audience--PTs, not other MDs. Haven't gotten far into the book yet. Sometimes he's a bit repetitive and there are a few places where I can see the benefit of a non-technical editor. It has all the plot and character development of a textbook, which is pretty much what it is. And for a textbook the writing is passable and the information is quite valuable. Scheiman also presents in a way that is not likely to encourage people to try to practice beyond their realm of expertise, a real concern with a volume like this. Probably should be recommended for Assistive Technology folks as well as PTs.
