Annoying!! Choppy presentation due to formatting, cartoons by S. DuVal (Marietta, GA)

2 Stars

It probably would be a good resource if it wasn't so annoying. Almost every single paragraph has a cutesy red-letter heading that interupts the flow of concepts. The result is a choppy presentation that interferes with reading and interpreting the material. The cartoons are over the top: almost every page has a cartoon, some pages have two. They are not funny, or purposeful, and there's so many of them that it is distracting. If you can get past all the formatting distractions, the book provides a solid basic coverage of the subject matter. I like the tables, the "Advice from the Experts" boxes, and the quizzes. It's a painful read though -- I can't get into study mode because all the distractions just overpower the content. My recommendation for the next edition: Give your target audience some respect: we can read more than one paragraph at a time! so get rid of the red-letter headings. And place the cartoons at the beginning and/or end of the chapter where they don't interfere with the reader's experience.
