Left-handers unite!!!! We are the most persecuted minority in the history of humanity!!! Join me to fight the oppression of the right-handed world. Left handed lives matter!!!!! We demand our own country where we can be free from persecution and enjoy self-rule. How about Belize? It's not a real country and if the locals mind we'll just ship them to Guatemala! No more smudging ink with our hands, we'll write right to left! Every classroom will have left handed desks and every pair of scissors will be designed for lefties!!!! It's time for our own Zion!!! No? Ok...well, can we at least get a parade? No? How about a flag? ( )

Finally! It was okay, but being a left-handed myself I found the book bothersome. While some people delight in the fact of encountering a left-handed and believe that we are smarter, this book is the total opposite. My daughter is left-handed too and while I feel very proud I can't help but think that I was born premature, that I suffer from allergies, my daughter does too - but I don't remember her having any birth problems ... I was hoping to find something more positive about our condition. Thanks, but no thanks. ( )

It is good to know that more by luck than judgement, the QWERTY keyboard is left-hander friendly. That's about all that is. Take this copy. I open it and the price is pencilled in at the top corner of the front free endpaper - why not in top left? The book only cost £1.99 - probably a right hander thought it was for freaks,

A very negative view of left-handedness. ( )

As a left-handed person, I recommend this book to anyone who is left-handed or has any relatives or children who are left-handed. The things Coren discovered about left-handedness and how it effects the brain of a left-handed person is simply amazing and enlightening. ( )
