Well, it's a textbook. I always feel reluctant to rate a textbook based on entertainment value, but I really resisted this one especially and I had trouble getting through my class readings. It does include a lot of information, so it's probably effective for learning about marketing. Just that I hated it.
This was actually one of my favorite textbooks to read - the content was very engaging and easy to follow. It made homework assignments a lot easier. I wish more textbooks were presented in this format.
My text for my marketing class. It seems pretty informational. A bit intimidating because of it's size-I wouldn't have thought a marketing book to be this big-esecially because it's just a general class.
