I usually do not buy the recommended textbook for my classes but I'm glad I bought this book. It gives another point of view besides what my professor went over in class. The book is extremely well organized and each significant classification was given a "General Characteristics" box at the beginning of the chapter. This was a great tool to compare and contrast even small differences between each phylum or class.It went into details on things my professor skimmed through but expected students to know for exams.

This book is very informative and has a lot of detail. It is very helpful for classes involving animal taxonomy. Each chapter is organized very well. The pages are too shiny and on the verge of being too thin. The font is also slightly too wide and annoying to read.

Book is okay. Material within individual chapters could be organized better. More anatomic photographs would be helpful. Book falls apart after use- pages come out. This should be sold as a hard cover text and not soft cover.

When the book is labeled acceptable i expect there to be writing, highlighted information, etc. The book was much better. no writing and only one bent page. not bad at all.

This book is extremely dry, uninteresting, and entirely too in depth for the introductory zoology classes it was created for. Avoid this book at all costs!

It took forever for them to ship it out to me,so that sucked. The book is alright though.
