My teacher wrote the textbook.

[Sandy Schleich]

This book had a lot of good information, but just like a textbook it was a dry read. I did learn a lot from reading this book for school.

[Cali Bakker]

The topic and overall content of the textbook was interesting. I would prefer a more "to-the-point" approach for a textbook though.

Each chapter was written by someone different so as a whole this was *ridiculously* repetitive. If you take the chapters out of the book, though, they were all pretty good for a textbook
