Rating: 
- Great Information, Could be Shorter
I know it's already a small book, but there's still tons of fluff. I could really do without the opening story. The olive oil treatment is the way to go. This book is cheap and definitely worth it. It made me realize that lice are really not that big of a deal. A stupid, slow bug that doesn't carry disease. Get the book, just skim the fluff and skip to the important stuff.
Rating: 
- Highlights important things, but also contains some misinformation
This book has a lot of good info, and we're following its plan.One thing that's a little concerning is that it contains some misinformation about some of the chemical products it advises against.It states that Malathion (which we were just prescribed to use, for better or worse) is banned in the US by the FDA.This is not true.
[...]
Maybe the FDA has been bought by the head lice industry (wouldn't surprise me), but statements like this should be corrected.

The authors seem to think so, and you might also after reading this. There is a lot of controversy surrounding head lice today.This book is a great reference to the variety of techniques as well as a delightfullyentertaining guide to their own chosen style of eliminating the determinedpests.The book treats the readers with respect.The straight forwardhonesty of the writers is refreshing and funny.
