I gave it 4 starts because it highlights the fact that there is an affective side to learning, and that it's important. But the implementation was a bit disappointing--I'd probably give it 3 starts if it weren't for the need of the topic. I was only able to read the first three chapters, part of chapter 5, and the appendix before I had to return it. The taxonomy itself seemed decently thought-out and clear, but failed to recognize people may begin with strongly formed opinions antithetical to the objective. I didn't get to the testing portion, but I'm guessing it was weak--how could it be otherwise given the topic. As the authors state in the preface, "we found the affective domain much more difficult to structure [than the cognitive domain], and we are much less satisfied with the result." I feel the same--an important and difficult project, but a result that's not completely satisfying.

I read both Book-1 and Book-2 of Bloom's Taxonomy of Education in 1999. Anyone that studied the education reforms that our schools started implementing back in 1991, you must read these manuscripts. Bloom helps educators create educational objectives and give them direction in the affective domain and cognitive domain. In the wrong hands a teacher knowingly or unknowingly can convert an innocent human child into a gun packing mass killer. If you are responsible for implementing education goals and objectives - you might want to get a copy of these two books.
Cognitive is thinking and Affective is feeling.
Oh and be prayed up.
