Summary: Excellent Case Histories and Medical Reference
Review: As a mother of 2 daughters who have scoliosis, I found this book very informative and reassuring. There was a wide and varied range of scoliosis case histories described, providing something that almost every person/family with scoliosis could relate to and learn from. The medical, social, and emotional aspects of each case were described so those of us touched by this rare abnormality no longer felt alone. I admire Brooke's courage in writing this book, because scoliosis is a serious, relatively rare and frightening condition. This makes it difficult to talk so frankly about the feelings, emotions, and often severe medical treatment required to control this deforming condition. Bravo Brooke and congratulations for bravely placing a picture of your own back on the front cover of the book.

Summary: A Moveable Feast
Review: Fortitously picking up a copy, I noticed the picture of the author's back on the cover. What a babe! Her beauty compelled me to not only buy it for coffee table display but also to read it! It is both well written and informative. A veritable tour de force. Read it!

Summary: Wonderful!
Review: I was recently diagnosed with scoliosis and began a search for more information. A woman on an online forum pointed me towards this book. I picked it up and read it in one sitting. The language is not overly complex- very understandable. But gave me a much better understanding of my condition, and what can be done about it. The individual patient's stories were also pretty inspirational.

Summary: Scoliosis: Ascending the Curve
Review: This book was lacking any excitment that would allow a reader to connect to it. It read like a medical journal. It is however very informative, as a sort of guide book through scoliosis. But still a reader who does not have the disease will find it quite boring. The personal stories from the author attempted to take the cold impersonal tone away from the book. But the author failed in this attempt. The only thing left to say about this book is that it was a poorly writen book with too narow an intended audience.
