I had to read this for one of my classes and I didnt think I was going to like it as much as I did. I normally hate textbooks but this was actually a nice read. It was easy to read, it had the perfect amount of information, and it actually helped me understand what my professor was teaching the class

Same with another review, I wouldn’t usually count a textbook as a reading but I read the whole thing so couldn’t resist! There were some errors in this text book and sometimes sentences weren’t fully complete. But I really enjoyed the real world examples in this book, which made it better to read than other texts I’ve read.
