4.0 out of 5 stars
Surprisingly good read for a textbook.
Reviewed in the United States on 24 November 2015Verified Purchase
Textbooks are usually compulsory so its not much use to review them. I did want to acknowledge this book because it was a decent read plus the author threw in a lot of cheeky bits which helped make it a bit of fun. It was also apolitical which I appreciated since it delved into a lot of politically charged topics. I feel like a lot of the chapters were padded out with repetition and over-explanation but that seems to be standard for textbooks.
