Average Customer Rating: 4.5 out of 5

1) Purchase Review   [Rating: 4 out of 5]
This was a great experience. The shipping was fast, and hassle free. Hope to buy this way again.

2) Good Text   [Rating: 4 out of 5]
I own several Psychology texts and this is a fine introductory source for abnormal psychology. The illustrations and case histories are quite interesting, and the text is exceedingly easy to read. Very few people will probably find this a compelling read outside of a classroom, but for a textbook, it's a very good one. I'll hold onto my copy - you never know when these things can come in handy.

3) Abnormal Psychology & Video Presentations in Abnormal   [Rating: 4 out of 5]
A good for the understanding of abnormal psychology. This is highly recommended for the undergraduate study. The book is rather dry but does contain valuable information.

4) Very good and clear book   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
This was one of my favorite classes in college and this book was very supplemental to my professor's lectures. The text was very clear and there were really good examples to help get the point across. It was nice because it was very concise and to the point.

5) Sorry to give it up   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
If I didn't need the money so badly, I'd keep this textbook. It's the first time I haven't been dying to get rid of a textbook. Make no mistake. This book is intelligent, a great read, and the layout is not overdone (unlike some books where your eye doesn't know where to look first). For me, it is the perfect model for a psychology text--reading never felt like an assignment or chore. It really was something I looked forward to.
