So so Bought for a college class, so I didnt have any choice. The material is ok, could be written better. | ||
Easy to read This textbook is quite easy to read. From chapter to chapter it flows very easily. I hope this book sticks around in the college system text requirements for the next semester's students. | ||
Pretty amusing and fun - for a college text book This book uses humor and slang to present the points needed for Human Communication and the classes it is used for. Between using quotes and comics (Calvin & Hobbes, especially), the points come across, as well as a chuckle here and there. | ||
