Easy to read, lightweight, easy to add to the backpack. Plenty ofmarginal space for making/taking notes, and very thorough.

good book isn't too over whelming for a beginning student is very well laid out and easy to follow !

It's written like the author had a word count to fulfill. Long-winded is an understatement. Seriously, the book is short, but should have been much, MUCH shorter. The content is useful, but reading is a pain.

Very informational and useful to me! Love the detailed chapters! You will not be disappointed in this purchase. You can use this book for class as well as personal use. Thanks to the author!

Because my major in college is occupation theory and the book is profession enough to help me take the class.

It's a great book very easy to read and understand.

This book arrived early and I was very excited to get started on this new avenue in life. It was in great condition, and priced just right. Thanks

It stated the book was in good condition. However, it was written and highlighted all over, which was hard to read at times.
