Summary: Interesting issues that are worthy of further investigation
Comment: This book doesn't tell left-handers how best to live in a right-handers' world, but it doesn't purport to. It does, however, live up to its title. Coren presents a range of very interesting theories and conclusions about left-handedness. Crucially, he also describes the actual studies and presents their results, and is fairly clear about when something's just a theory and why one might believe it, so you get to see some raw facts and judge for yourself. I'm strongly left-handed and am not in the least bit offended by the idea that it could have possibly been caused by something going slightly wrong somewhere. Some of the theories did actually explain a few things about my family and myself quite well, which was an added bonus.

Summary: Not what I was looking for!
Comment: When my young daughter began favoring her left hand I decided I should read up on lefties to understand how she sees things. I was very disappointed to read that the left is associated with the devil, that left handedness could be a result of brain damage during birth. Not what I wanted to hear. I was looking for direction on teaching her how to play mini golf (how to hold a club) and eat with chopsticks (this has been a difficult one). In kindergarten she has a left handed teacher fortunately and we learned alot. Lefties sometimes read right to left, often picking up a magazine and reading it from back to front! If I had the time I would write a practical book I didn't learn anything from the "science" of it all. I'll keep looking!

Summary: Disappointing
Comment: This book is an interesting combination of fairly good writing and fairly poor science. The information on which the author draws is taken out of its context, so while his conclusions have an internal logic, that logic is far-fetched and has almost no bearing on the rest of the world. But the author's writing is good enough to keep this from being self-evident. I found the book an easy but worthless read.
