Rating:  - Very Informative and helpful for mother in labor and her partner/husband
This book was very helpful to me and my husband and gave us plenty of tips to would be helpful throughout my pregnancy and birth. It gave a variety of ways for my husband to help ease the pressure/pain, encourage me when I feel like I can't do it, and to coach me during labor. It encourages the active participation of the husband/partner. As a huge pain wimp this book, along with Husband Coached Childbirth, helped me prepare for the birth of our 9 pound baby girl!

Rating:  - great labor prep book
This is a great guide to preparing for natural childbirth. The techniques are very helpful in guiding both mom and dad and learning about what to expect. My only suggestions are to do some serious updating on the birth statistics (old numbers), and to use some more updated illustrations - I think people get really turned off by it seeming so out of date. Still, the illustrations are applicable and helpful, if not a little corny seeming because of their obvious "vintage" appearances.
Rating: - Great Overview
Great book, essential if you are planning to have a natural childbirth. Although I am taking Bradley classes, I would feel comfortable and confident that I could have a natural childbirth after reading this book -Bradley classes are a little expensive. Some of the relaxation exercises are a little cheesey, but they get the point across.
Rating: - Highly recommended
A very practical, step-by-step overview of the labour process, including simple to understand diagrams. By uncovering the physical process of labour, I feel more confident to understand and handle, without intervention, the labour process. It's a simple read and so I've asked my husband to read certain chapters also so he can better understand and be prepared also.
Rating:  - Update Please
Other than the method itself, this book is really outdated. So much has changed in the healthcare world since 1987, there are standards in care that every hospital must abide by. As far as the method....it seems to be really helpful, I will try and use this method at my up and coming childbirth. I had wished there were more instruction on the exercises, rather than just relying on pictures.
