Chances are, you're looking at this because you need it for a class. You can rest easy, as this book is informative without feeling like a slog to read. Plenty of interesting stuff to read about in here, but your classroom experience will depend more on your teacher than anything else. Still, if you see this title on your reading list, you're probably in good hands.As far as the actual quality of the book goes, it's also good. The print quality is good, and the writing is concise and clear. That said, I would recommend renting this title if that's an option.
