Book was highlighted & underlined to the point where the book was NOT enjoyable to read. First bad purchase experience.

I bought the book for a class. It is informative, however the information is presented in small font with no italics or bold to assist in identifying key points. It makes the weekly chapter reading a chore. The material is dry and I would liken it to reading a dictionary.

I had to buy this book for a doctoral class, I thought I'd never use it again but I have found that it is a great reference book.

My professor warned us in advance that it will be a hard read.. IT IS but I have to read it for Health Care Management.

This is the required book for my Health Service Administration course. It is well written and has excellent case studies with each unit.

This book is so dry and dense...the material is not difficult, but the book is poorly organized and written in such a boring manner that you really do not want to take the time to read it (even if it's for a class). I have other books on health care organization that are MUCH more user-friendly and actually interesting to read. Don't buy this book unless you really have to.

This is a great and reliable seller. I received this item extremely quick, it was packaged great, and it fit the description that was provided on the website.

This is a good text book but the material is overwhelming. It is written quite well and it is clear and concise.

I bought this book used but it is brand new! It looks like it has never even been read. I'm so happy and it's such a great deal!!!
