Editorial Reviews

Review

"The ACTIVEBOOK is wonderful. I like how I don't have to carry it around. I think the Active Concept Checks are the best, and I like how there is a link for all of the vocabulary words." -- Melanie Newman, Northeastern University student "I think the best thing about ACTIVEBOOK by Kotler & Armstrong is it gives you more options to study with, instead of just reading through a book page after page." -- Rusty Gackle, Florida State University student

1.0 out of 5 stars The only thing active is the buyer's credit card! Tell your University not to use this book!, June 29, 2006
This review is from: Principles of Marketing, Activebook 2.0 (Paperback)
There is NO review material in this book. All of the review material must be accessed online. An activation code that expires after a year must be used to access any of the online review material.

My new finance books (hardback) cost only $35 more for double the number of pages, smaller print (the print size in Kotler's book looks like a freshman trying to make the minimum page length), and hundreds of exercises.

Marketing 2.0 is not worth anything close to the price. The buyer essentially receives a $115 magazine with an offer to subscribe to the publishers site.

3.0 out of 5 stars Overpriced for what you get, October 22, 2007
This review is from: Principles of Marketing, Activebook 2.0 (Paperback)
This book does have a lot of useful information contained within the pages but it is impossible to sit down and read it. The writing is very bland and I think it would be impossible to read it cover to cover. However I have skimmed through the entire book to get a better understanding of its contents and refer back to it from time to time during projects.

As for the online portal I agree with the other reviewer, it is not worth the price of the book. And I really didn't like that it expires after a year.

If you are even looking at this book, I assume it is required reading for a class. If that is the case, buy it used, even if you don't get the online access, it is not worth the extra money.
