2.0 out of 5 stars Inexcusably sub-par, February 22, 2010
This review is from: East Asia: A Cultural, Social, and Political History, Volume II: From 1600 (Paperback)
This is a textbook for a class I'm taking. The writing is very poorly done. Not just badly organized chapters; I'm talking individual sentences and paragraphs here. There is no narrative flow, and information is out of order, making learning a tedious exercise. The professor says a number of students have complained of the same thing, and he only ordered the text because it was required by the department. "Go by your notes," was the solution offered to me.

Excellent scholarship is no guarantee of good writing, apparently.
