On readability I only give it three stars. However, on academic writing it fully deserves the whole row. It does count down that I personally needed to pull myself back to the book in order to get the very interesting content of it. If you have an academic mind and a critical sense of psychological theories, this book takes you through some interesting considerations of research. If you seek to read it for your personal enjoyment, consider another one.
