2.0 out of 5 stars Not user-friendly as a textbook, September 3, 2009
This review is from: The Moral of the Story: An Introduction to Ethics (Paperback)
I expect a textbook to be easily usable as a reference tool, and the format of this book did not meet that criteria. Overall, I found this book very challenging to use as a textbook. There are no chapter summaries or chapter indices for vocabulary introduced in each chapter. When a new word is introduced, the text is merely italicized, not bold-face, so it is difficult to find when searching for a reference. The paragraphs are also rather long, and the material is a bit dry and tends to ramble. On the positive, there are a lot of external sources inserted at the ends of the chapters (excerpts from books and movies) that give more "real-life" examples of the concepts in practice.

I bought this book for class, and it's great for getting the job done, but I wouldn't have used it any other way.
