Customer Rating: 

This book arrived in great condition and quickly! I learned a lot from this book, even though I had to have it for a college course.

Customer Rating: 

Needed the book for continuing my education, and it seems so far to be interesting enough, although I haven't had much time to dig into it. It does have some interesting self-exams that spur the individual into digging deeper into their own health related habits (good and bad), and learn to modify their behavior.

The book is like branch new. I received the book just in time. I would say I was very satisfied with my purchase through Amazon. I had purchase books from other places but since the image of the book was not displayed and ISBN was misleading I end up with a book that I don't need and since it was very cheap, it was useless for me to send it back since shipping cost will cost me more. Having the image and ISBN displayed will really make a big difference for online purchases.

Considering this was a textbook for me, and probably will be for most buyers, I did not find it of the high standards most textbooks are. I have found some errors in it too. More than once there is "see page *** " in the book. Did the editors of the book not go over this book enough times to have these errors?
But on the good side, the book is also a good compilation of information. Too much information. But for college students that might be a plus. It makes 18 and 19 year olds aware of a lot of health issues, from drugs, alcohol, contraception, etc. etc. the list goes on. In each of the chapteres, dealing with these topics there is a special section geared for college kids. There are also statistics for college kids, and on campus serveys.
So overall, I will give this book 3 and half stars. The author is dealing with a lot of material, and she does a good job of presenting it. Its not her fault that this is a very vast subject, and in order to fit it in some book she has to pack a lot of facts in every sentence. (Translated as Dry).
