Obnoxious crap

What disappointed you about Children at Risk?

Dr. James Dobson is a judgmental and obnoxious person. I wish I had never purchased this title.

Would you ever listen to anything by James Dobson again?

Not likely.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

Honestly, it had nothing to do with the narrator. I couldn't appreciate anything about the book because of Dr. Dobson's narrow minded Old Testament asinine views.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Children at Risk?

I would've written about actual content that related to children being at risk. From, Oh, I don't know. Bullying, poor discipline, low self esteem... Actually helpful and instructive tools for raising our children.

Not the opinionated ramblings of an unloving and thoughtless jerk who could care less about people and more about the 12 Commandments.
