4.0 out of 5 stars excellent catechism, September 16, 2009
this is a classic & concise catholic catechism from a very well respected author

like most catechisms i've seen, the material covers the 4 pillars of catholicism in similar percentages, about 30% for the apostles creed, 30% for the sacraments, 30% for the 10 commandments and 10% for the lord's prayer

fr. hardon is a very good writer and adds a surprising amount of background material, historical info & useful tidbits of commentary when describing the catholic beliefs

my only gripe about this book is the low quality binding, it is below even general mass market paperbacks, and basically falls apart after several readings. compared to the high quality bindings of (say) the usccb's compendium or adult catechisms, this binding is just a shame for such a good book

fortunately the entire text is also available on the internet, broken into many different pages, all having awesome color images too
