This shouldnt happen to a new book. and it is then just frustrating to read. I wouldnt recommend buying this book unless having the book fall apart as you read doesnt bother you.42 of 44 people found the following review helpful. Inspirational. although weaker than "Nurtured by Love"By Gene ZafrinThis book is similar in message to Suzukis earlier book. "Nurtured by love". Suzuki-humanist and philosopher is more evident here than in that other book. Praise from the parent. developing childs concentration and setting fun tasks that can be accomplished are some of advises on rearing children. Suzuki strongly believes that the real education is at home and therefore advocates for parents self-reflecting: you reap what you saw. therefore you should strive to be a fine person yourself to raise fine children.As in "Nurtured by love". some of the life philosophy sounds a bit out of place: "act quickly on what you think". while an excellent advice. should have been tied in with the rest of the book. The same goes for other maxims. such as "do not cheat yourself". Both "Nurtured by Love" and "Ability Development" suffer from the lack of directed studies and critical analysis of much that Suzuki postulates. Intuitively though. his theories sound very appealing. while the great optimism and love for children shine through the imperfections of the books.The book reads like a somewhat watered-down version of "Nurtured by Love". which I would recommend instead of this one.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. One of the best books Ive ever readBy gbdesI always thought "Suzuki Method" was merely for music students. This is a fantastic parenting book. I am sure I will read it over and over as my children grow. The anecdotal voice of the book makes it a breeze to get through. and a pleasure. The only book I think even more highly of is "Nurtured by Love". the second book I read by Suzuki. The information is so basic and obvious. yet completely transcendental. He is a beautiful. clear writer. and has amassed a huge following for a reason. Beautiful person. beautiful books.
