If I didn’t need it for a class…I would never have bought this.
It hurts my soft-science brain to read.
Rating: 3 / 5
It’s a text book. Who would read this stuff if they weren’t forced to? Well, perhaps I should not ask that question… Have not had an assignment out of it as of yet, but sure I will somehow manage to endure the agony of every minute I am forced to read it.
Ok, something positive… It comes with a CD, although it SHOULD be a CD of calming, relaxing music, or even head banging metal would be nice, but I’m sure it is not. Haven’t tried that either. Why torture the computer? oh… the cover looks nice.

I’m three chapters into this book and things are explained reasonably well although it is kind of dry like a pharmacology textbook. The thing I’m not happy about is the disk. It is a DUD unless you have a special program for running it (SPSS or other compatable program). Oh well, at least I only need it for the next 9 weeks of class.

I find that this book is extremely hard to work through. The reading takes so long that it is hard to get other work done and by the time you are finished you have to go back through the material to really understand what you had just read.
