[Michael Pierce · Rating 2 out of 5]

This book is mediocre at best. It suffers from many misplaced readings that are often stretching to fit into the category they are assigned to.

The first half of the book seems to be much stronger than the second half, I am not sure if this is by mere chance or is intentional. I absolutely would not recommend this book for sociology, there are far better books available.

[Cortney · Rating 4 out of 5]

I read chapters 2, 7, 13, 21, 26, 31, 32, 33, 34, 45.

When there is time in the distant future, I'd like to read a few more. This is a great addition to a standard textbook for an intro to sociology course.
