Overall a well organized book which provided me with all the information I needed for my class and to prep for the final. However, for the most part, the content presentation was very dry and too clinical. I also gave up using the included study materials as they were just copy/paste quotes from the book and the flashcards elected to shrink text to fit more on vs actually reworking the content to be studied. I was glad I had the book for the class, but it will not be one I will think of to review or re read by any stretch.

Odd to say this about a tome but this is a compact and helpful guide to various levels of FPA and full of interesting case studies. Thoroughly enjoyed it!
