Virtually unusable ebook

I think the information in this book is find. However, do NOT buy the e-version for kindle. It is truly an atrocity because you can hardly use it at all. Most of the pages will not load, the formulas are formatted incorrectly (which renders most of what you’re learning grossly misleading and inaccurate), and the pages will glitch so that you will “turn” to the same page over and over before it leaps you ahead like 15 pages. Definitely buy the hard copy.

Probably not the best, definitely not the worst.

The authors attempt to make statistics as painless as possible, but this is just a painful subject. Their descriptions are mostly clear, though the graphics, captions, and tables tend to be repetitive and don't add any understanding to what is already in the text. Luckily my class didn't have to do the hand calculations, so I am not sure how clear those sections are. I'll keep this to help with my thesis, but I definitely got more out of my other statistics book this semester, which focused on how to use these techniques in SPSS.
