Just Awful,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Marriages, Families, and Relationships: Making Choices in a Diverse Society (Hardcover)
This book is truly terrible. Sure, it contains a few tidbits of information that may be interesting. However, you have to put up with it's horrible formatting and blatant promotion of the Cengagenow service to get to that. This book is honestly difficult to read because of how badly it's formatted. There are hundreds of pages with extraneous insert blurbs, a few of which take up most of the page, leaving only two or three rows for the actual text underneath it. The only thing this book is 'good' for (and I use that term more than a bit sarcastically) is for passing a class that requires it.
I really enjoyed "Choices in Relationships: An Introduction to Marriage and the Family" by David Knox and Caroline Schacht. I needed it previously as a textbook for a class, but I enjoyed it so much that I still read through it time and again. It provides extremely useful and in depth information about the same sorts of topics this book attempts to cover. If you have any choice in the matter, I highly suggest you get the Knox/Schacht book over this piece of trash.

Well worth the price,

This review is from: Marriages & Families: Making Choices in a Diverse Society (Hardcover)
I needed this book for school, but it was going for $200.00 dollars.I ordered the book and got it within five days before my class was going to start. The book was in great condition. It looked like it has been read, but it was in good enough condition for me to use in my class. I saved a lot of money. The book was well worth the price.
