 Great, but it's still a textbook.
I should say up front that I just don't really like textbooks. This book is a great introduction for someone new to psychology who works with adolescents. For someone who has taken several psychology courses, this book is repetitive, shallow, and general. It casts a wide net. Fortunately, my instructor brought in lots of interesting supplementary journal articles and encouraged debate. Otherwise I might have died of boredom. I'm keeping this book around as a reference, because the problems it has are really just symptoms of textbooks in general. As far as textbooks go, this one is as good as the others.

Good ( asmussell )
I have taken many Psychology classes. This book is clear and well illustrated. There is room for improvement but this is a great textbook.

 An Excellent Review of Relevant Research and Theories
This is an excellent text for adolescent development. It is an easy read for undergraduate students and it provides summaries of a variety of current research projects. I have used Steinberg's text for two years to teach a course in adolescent development and I have yet to find a better undergraduate text on adolescence.
