Some solid advice and lists of suggestions. I really loved the teacher examples because it illustrated exactly how I may use some of the ideas. Definitely inspiring!

 I liked that the explanation of differentiation was clear and accessible. The tips for adjustments to practice covered a wide range of areas and are easily applicable to any subject or grade level. I do wish some of the examples had been more focused on older students, as a lot of them were about elementary students and weren't totally relevant to older students (but that's my personal opinion as a secondary educator).

This book is repetitive and a lot of the strategies are common sense with new names. Some of the strategies are out of date as well in terms of technology. Tomlinson does a decent job of diving into differentiation based on interest, readiness, and learning preferences. When culture is mentioned it simply states that teachers should keep culture in mind when differentiating but does not expand at all. I think this book could be summed up in a short article with a list of strategies included.
