Bravo!, 2004-09-08
A stunning text that delivers the scientific insight expected from a Dr Walker publication. The revelation here though, and in essence what separates this book from others, is the development of the scientist (and one time 'enfant terrible' of Psychology!) as a story teller. One hesitates to use the word genius - a term all too frequently applied in these celebrity obsessed times - but history will certainly look upon this title very favourably.

If you only read one dermatology self help book this year, then make sure that it's this one!

Fast paced,exiting, heart stopping page turning book, 2004-07-28
I read this book within a matter of days, it's perfect for the beach or if your pennies don't stretch that far then you should read it with a box of chocolates and a glass of wine within easy reach. You will not be able to think about anything else until you have finished it, and even then thoughts will keep popping into your head.

About the best book Dr Walker has ever written. This will always be his classic masterpiece, his epitaph even.

Don't scratch....read!, 2004-04-05
I literally couldn't put it down!

A tour de force of dermatological insight! Walker is the Freud of skin problems. Put away your corticosteroids, your emolients, your vitamen E creams! You don't need them! Read a page a day and you'll get all the help you need!
