[Aresio Mavraganis · Rating 2 out of 5]

Very dry.

[Austin Kinghorn · Rating 3 out of 5]

A solid book, a little self-indulgent as far as it is restricted to sociological thought, and not clearly tied back to reality or other disciplines/applications. Sociological Theory should be tied back to reality or else it might as well be called Sociological Conjecture.

[Bryan Jaeggle · Rating 4 out of 5]

Excellent read. If anyone is interested in how society has formed progressed or deviated from its ways. Progress or degression. This is the "Idiots guide to"

[Kevin Okungu]

The book is great and discusses social issues correctly

[Meen · Rating 5 out of 5]

A much more intricate examination of sociological theory, focusing on foundational thinkers and ideas, from the Enlightenment through the Big Three (Marx, Weber, Durkheim) to Mead. This one was tough, but extremely illuminating.

Excellent literature review of sociological theory. VERY helpful for beginners!
