I read the book in light of one of my doctoral students just completed her dissertation on bullying and thus this book was a nice timely read. My impressions are that this is a book that should be in every school and guidance counselors office. Parents would benefit from reading this book as it is readable and the breadth of coverage is comprehensive without being overwhelming, and the author captures the extant literature well. The stylistic approach makes it useful for individual as well as group work on the issues raised. I think there is a very wide audience appeal and I mentioned it should be in schools as a resource.
