I found this book very informative and actually enjoyable to read, as far as required reading goes. I found the last two chapters to be a little repetitive and confusing. But, overall I learned a lot from this text and may not even sell it back.

Read this for college and my whole class was struggling to finish it. Which made the whole semester a nightmare.
