The author uses way too many words... could distill the information down to just the facts and it would be a good book for a masters program.

The messages got lost in the mess of this book.

I am just not a research methods girlie especially when this is the material guiding it!

It served it's purpose. The set up of the book was weird, according to my instructor (research design should have been at the beginning of the book?) It was not a great book, but it got the job done and I did not feel the need to completely give up on it.

Dry, but necessary material for my master's program in social work. I learned, which was the point I guess.

"Really liked it" may not be technically accurate, but for a textbook covering a fairly dry topic, it did what it needed to do well and with as much readability as possible.

Some of the chapters seemed unnecessarily wordy, beyond the complexities of the concepts themselves. It was okay.
