The text is dry and although it seems to have good information it presents like any text book and is not enjoyable to read in any way. For the class I had to buy it for we didn't even use the information for testing, so it was a waste for me but a common scenario when teachers insist on students buying expensive texts and then do not use them in their curriculum- so see if you really need it or share with a friend.
This book arrived to me in excellent condition. I will admit that I haven't used it much in the few weeks that I've had it, but the content seems to be easy to follow and understand.
Good condition book, haven't read it yet, it's required for one of my nursing classes.
I cannot rate this product as I did not ever receive it from the sender.
