For my macro level social work class -- a topic I'm very interested in -- but the reading was monotonous and repetitive. I couldn't really tell you anything I learned from it off hand.

Read this for a macro level social work class. The subject was interesting, but the presentation of the information was horrible. It is dense with theory and repetitive with unclear conclusions. I just finished the book and read the conclusion. I have no idea how the information as it was presented in the book could have lead anyone to have "a foundational understanding of theories and practices of macro social work."

As far as textbooks go, this one was really pretty good! It took a lot of dense information and made it approachable.

Very informative but a difficult read

It has a lot of good content but it is very extensive. I thought at points they were pushing the reader away by being too thorough.

I read this book as part of the first-year curriculum in a graduate program. Though I was thoroughly interested in the wealth of knowledge it had to offer, I felt that the book could have been better organized - something that may be very key to first-year graduate students establishing their professional groundwork.

This book was irritating as HELL. Even though I'm interested in the subject matter, I found this really hard to read it. It was super boring and way too long. Definitely could cut about half the book out and still get the information across. Every time I sat down to read, I found my mind wandering.

It was informative but, it seems like most of the information could have been conveyed in a much more concise manner....
