Book is fine but it is completely written by academics for academics. Not very user friendly for students and not great for anyone who reads with any speed as you always get thrown off by citations everywhere (Dewey Cheetum, 2015). See its annoying..Use of words that are outdated or purposely "eggheady" for no real purpose other than I would imagine to appeal to other people who would be writing their own books.Hopefully this isn't a book your professor assigns.

This book was so difficult to get through, perhaps it was just way over my head but I honestly fell asleep more than once trying to get through this for my class. I believe that others enjoyed it but it was just not something I enjoyed or understood. Hopefully, if you have to read this, it goes much better for you.
