drdena's review against another edition
3.0
Easy read, funny, and being a proud nerd there are some parts that are easily to relate to.
My biggest qualm with this book is that Andregg neglects to define "nerd" and "geek", until about halfway through the book. I think the scope should be defined early in the analysis. Yes, there are differences; yes, they matter.
He does raise a few points about how to encourage children to be themselves, and how difficult it can be for kids to fit in, but he provides no concrete solutions. I wanted a little more.
