So i ordered this one. i am vocally critical of a lot of text books, but i actually really liked this one. It covered most of what i wanted to know, taught me about all sorts of things i didn't know i wanted to know and was pretty ...

This book is by far the worst one I have read. The text is poorly written, confusing, and very boring. The author repeats himself throughout the chapters, and takes too long to make a point. Many students from our Cognitive Psychology class have find it difficult to study from this book for our exams. The book just doesen't flow. Before you purchase this book, try ... Read More
