I cannot understand why people make textbooks and then just give them the most ungodly small font. I already don't really want to read it but then you make it hard to read on top of that???
Anyway, the content was actually very relative to the subject and was mostly very easy to digest. There were a LOT of examples though and I didn't think I'd ever complain about that but you don't need 1-3 multiple-paragraph examples on every page, especially when the book is almost 800 pages. The biggest con though is that, like most Pearson textbooks, this was way too expensive. It was around $140 for a digital edition that included the ebook and access to a site that I only had three assignments for. So, I just bought a used physical one for like $120 so I could maybe sell it back and get some money back and I just didn't do the three assignments because I didn't want to buy access and I still got a good grade because they weren't even worth 10% of my total grade.
