Review: I Can Understand This Book! - Finally a book about Parkinson’s that I can understand, a book that gives me as a caregiver so much useful information and my husband with PD a more optimistic view as he progresses thru this disease. Even if you are just curious about the disease, perhaps know someone that has just been diagnosed or wonder if there is something you might just be missing in your maintenance program, this book is excellent, easy reading, organized and informative. Review: GOOD PRACTICAL INFORMATION - This is good, practical information from someone who has lived with a Parkinson's patient. I recommend buying Book 2 to go along with this one - addressing the caregiver side of the equation.

The knowledge the book is giving me there
I’m very excited to have something that I can look at and determine what’s wrong with my hands and legs and all. These tremors are driving me crazy. Is very easy to follow what’s going on with your book reading. It’s so much easier for me now. To understand what’s going on now.

Very easy read!
Very easy to read - lots of good info. Helped me understand better - and also helped me with what questions to ask my dad’s doctor (neurologist). Not a technical book - perfect for people with no knowledge of this horrible disease.

excellent book in easy understanding wording
excellent book in easy understanding wording......it is written without the clinical way of other books. his mom has the disease and he tells the all the problems surrounding it and some ways of dealing with it. I found it to be much easier reading then other ones, since I have recently been told I also have this horrible disease.

Useful but lightweight
This book is easy to read and includes some useful information. However, it also touts some unproven or inadequately tested approaches, and is badly in need of editing for punctuation and style.

Well worth reading
Being new to Parkisons, it is good to find a book with common sense and practical ideas to help the sufferer and caregivers. It will be a good handbook for the future.
