From the moment I started to read this book it quickly became a resource I used with the university students I support. Many identified with the author’s remarks, describing how the learner might feel, with comments from student such as “yes I often felt like that!†and “I’m sure she is writing about me?â€

This immediately engaged the students, who were keen to read more and take part in the activities.
