This review is from: Is Television a Bad Influence? (What Do You Think?) (Hardcover)

Once again, Kate Shuster delivers. This book is excellent for students, teachers, and parents. It objectively shows readers how to consider both sides of an issue and then has a section where the reader decides his or her position. Great discussion starter and topic for debating. This is part of the new "What Do You Think" series and I highly recommend all eight of them.
