I ROCKED this final. 100 questions...100%! This book was actually one of the more helpful and informative textbooks I have encountered in my schooling.
Key terms are ill defined in some areas or incorrect and grammar structure is more like word salad. Sometimes the simpler way to go is the most appropriate; lest an author seem pretentious or ignorant.
