1.0 out of 5 stars Boring!!!!!!!!!!!

Book used by my Pol Sci class. It is so boring and it resembles a huge thesis dictation of jumping everywhere but the point itself.

Pray for a money back return of some sort if you can get something back on it after the class is over!

3.0 out of 5 stars You'll Need to Read A Chapter Twice for Clarity
Reviewed in the United States on 19 May 2016

This book gives a general overview to the theories of political science. However, the way it presents the information is unorganized and unclear. When addressing primary ideas, the text will often tell you that it will elaborate more on the subject later. Where it elaborates more, the idea or theory will often have a different name that the author will never mention is connected or synonymous to the first idea. A great example of this is in the voting chapter, where plurality systems and first pass the post systems are discussed. There's no clarification on whether they are the same idea or just connected, and you have no idea what the difference between the two terms are.

However, the book does have it's strong points. The section on political ideologies is really well done, and the visual aids used throughout the book really enhance understanding.
