Louder Than Words: A Mother's Journey of Heailng Autism July 1, 2009
An easy read makes this book a summer hit. Very informative for those who want to learn what it is like to live with an autistic child. Jenny McCarthy gives us a personal and candid view into the world of autism.
 0 Stars, this book is garbage June 30, 2009
Please, please please do not listen to people like Jenny McCarthy who do not have science on their side. I know parents want answers as to why we have devastating diseases like Autism but pointing a finger at vaccines is irresponsible and unsafe.

Excellent read, would every child have a mum like this mother [and doesn't every child deserve one] the world would be a much happier place.
Well done Jenny your hard work paid you dividends and I am so happy for you. xx
