2.0 out of 5 stars
cheaply made and uninteresting,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Child Maltreatment: An Introduction (Paperback)
Though this book is packed with information it is made cheaply, its very depressing and the writer seemed not to care whether the reader would be interested or not. I felt the book just listed things. It does have some examples of things but it can be unclear in a lot of topics. And the pages fell out just from opening and closing the book to read it.
