I was interested in reading Becoming Brilliant as an K-12 view point on education. I currently work in higher education assessment and have my MS in developmental psychology. While the book was inline with the topic that I was hoping it would discuss, I was underwhelmed by the inclusion of research. I also felt like the structure of the book could have been a bit more defined. It seemed like they kept going off on tangents.

I wondered at the target audience for this book. It seems geared towards parents, but does not really address parents through most of the book. The majority of the book seems geared towards educators, yet only provides basic information without going into as much depth. The book was ok, the information expressed was not, to my knowledge, inaccurate. It just did not seem to feel any particular gap in what is available.

I received this book from Netgally for free, however I ended up reading the book via audiobook from the library. All opinions expressed are my own.
