It's a textbook and with that it is everything a textbook is: verbose, uninteresting at times, professional, chock full of information.
The biggest complaint we had, as a class, was the content. Kunz, in discussing various theories, depicts a very cookie cutter world and we found that the book did not represent marriage and family as it actually is. I wonder if there are more modern ideals that needed to be discussed. The pictures also seemed very outdated.
If you are a sociologist at heart this will be a fine read for you.

I had to read this for my marriage and family sociology class this year. It wasn’t bad, just out of date. I also felt like the format was a little hard to focus on. However, I did like that it wasn’t a stereotypical dusty heavy old textbook.

I thought for a textbook it was more interesting than many, however some information in it is outdated mostly relating to laws on gay marriages. Apart from that it wasn't bad at all.
