4.0 out of 5 stars
good textbook,
This review is from: Modern Sociological Theory (Paperback)
Ritzer writes some original theory but he is mainly known for his many textbooks. This one is comprehensive and has useful summaries and evaluations.

Worst Textbook EVER,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Modern Sociological Theory (Paperback)
I am currently a student who has to use this book and absolutely hate it. Ritzer does not know the meaning of concise, and will say the same thing ten different ways. He will also repeat things in multiple places when they don't really need to be repeated. Also, with the exception of a couple chapters, this book is incredibly dry and boring. Overall I find it difficult to read and would have preferred something different. The class is hard enough without having to read what has to be the most boring textbook I have ever read. I know it's a textbook and not a work of fiction, but every other textbook I have had since I started college is at least somewhat interesting to read. It's not the subject matter either (which is really interesting) this book is just that dry and dull.
