Reader' Reviews

Easily Readable / / 2009-11-25
The layout and tone of the book makes it very readable. There is quite a bit of humor used throughout and the way the book is broken down makes it seem like less material than you are actually reading.

I have one small criticism of the book and that is the author's repeated use of global warming issues to demonstrate or personalize psychological concepts. It was used so often I began to feel that it was an important issue to the author and I find that inappropriate. In light of recent controversy involving global warming science, I would hope that the author might use that as an example of groupthink in the next edition as well as toning down the rhetoric. I cringed when he stated that global warming could cause an additional 50,000 homicides per year. Those kinds of statements detract from the seriousness of the book, in my opinion.

There was a mix up in the beginning that was my fault, I forgot my mailing address and it prolonged the process. However, I was skeptical at first of using this site so I purchase mines from Amazon instead of a private dealer. In all, I was satisfied with my choice and received exactly what I wanted.

I don't know what to say? / / 2009-09-30
I would love to review this book, but I never got it. One month after it was shipped by Amazon's third-party vendor, it still hasn't arrived!!

Intro Psychology textbook / / 2009-09-22
This book is easy to read, perhaps, too easy for college-level students. There are pages and pages of analogies, quotes, diagrams and photos (sometimes indirectly related to the material) and numerous pop-culture references. The book could have been a few hundred pages shorter. It's a pain to carry it around, but it's a good book for an intro course in psychology.

Have not received, do not order for this supplier, bad service / / 2009-09-22
