Abnormal Psych ( ab278606 )
I was pretty impressed with the time in which the book was delivered to me. But, I was a bit disappointed in the fact that starting around the 5th chapter, 3/4 of the page were highlighted. There should have been a note on the fact that a lot of the book was marked. Otherwise, I was happy with my purchase.

 Good and Bad
This text was required for my class, so I didn't really buy it out of interest. There is a large amount of very good information written so it can easily be understood in this book. There is also decent amount of filler that can make it difficult to continue on with the long chapters (some 40+ pages). All in all it is a very verbose writing style - many of my class mates agreed. However, there are very good chapter outlines as well as all important terms/ideas ect. listed at the end of the chapters that allows one to filter a little. If you don't mind some extra reading this is a very good book. If it were more concise I would have givin it another star or two.

good... but missing a page? ( bowerbirde )
This textbook was great for my class, but I couldn't find the information to make a citation. It was like a page was missing?
