Ratings and reviews

I enjoyed this book from start to finish. I've acquired a great deal of information regarding birth order. And wow! was the information provided accurate. As a first born I found myself laughing quite a bit at some of the stories that were told and at my personality type. I purchased the Firstborn Advantage but decided to purchase and read The Birth Order first, I'm glad that I did. Not sure if this will apply to anyone else but I found myself analyzing others while attempting to figure out what their birth order was. Overall a great read from start to finish!!

Love this! I've read it 3 times! Helpful for my children, husband, co workers, friends, and family! Love love love the opportunity to understand others because of the information in this book! I suggest it to nearly everyone I know!

It's fun and was helpful in some circumstances for sure.
