This book, and others like it, makes me very sad. We here in the US have already paid for this information which is offered to us for free from our government. People who are suffering from cancer have enough expenses paying for treatment. They do not need to pay for information which is free, already paid for with our taxes!I speak from experience. My husband suffers from cancer and initially, we bought many books. But not this one. We didn't need to buy this one, because this info is free. If you or a loved one suffers from cancer, please save your money for treatment. Get this info from the National Institute of Health, you have already paid for it. Please do not be taken advantage of by this "editor" and his bevy of reviewers. Click on the 5 star reviewers' reviews. You will see that they are all reviewing the same things. Does the word, Scam, come to mind? It does to me.I have never reviewed a book with one star until now. That I now have makes me sad too. Definitely not recommended.

Overall, this book does a good job of conveying information about brain cancer to the laymen reader or patient. It takes an overview of the stages and types of brain cancer. It also covers some of the basic treatment options available to patients. The booklet also contains phone numbers and web addresses for patients seeking support resources during and after treatment. The coverage of the treatment options suffices considering the audience. However, beyond the cursory scientific knowledge of the cancer grades and the light description of several treatment procedures, the book has little scientific value for someone familiar with the field or in search of a deep understanding of the subject. There is scant discussion of the risk factors associated with brain tumors and the post-treatment resource sections are limited in scope. Most importantly, though, this booklet contains information already widely and freely available through the National Cancer Institute. Anyone through a quick Google search or by typing in the [...] link into their browser search bar can find all of this information free of charge. Thus, I would not recommend this booklet in general for people who are serious about finding out about brain cancer, unless they want to read the relevant information concerning brain tumors in an easy to read, paperback form. It is much easier and more comprehensive to find this information online or over the phone.
Too short more info on internet.I was disappointed. a page was also upside down.No new information. internet sites had more information.
