Reader' Reviews

The Good and the Bad / / 2009-12-09
I like how this book begins each chapter with a personal story, and how everything is related to life experiences that Mrs. Berk has had, but I found it very difficult to get through the chapters, because so much of it seemed like unnecessary or uninteresting elaboration, and her personal views on controversial political concerns (health care, for example) were quite clear, with little representation from opposing views. I often found myself pressed for time, and the sheer volume of each chapter was frustrating, such that I often skimmed for context, copied definitions, and then read through the summary for all the important things. Furthermore, I found that doing so was an effective way of studying for my class.

I know that the subject material is interesting. I just feel that this book did not bring out that aspect of Developmental Psychology.

Never got it / / 2009-11-11
I am unable to properly review this book as I never received it. Instead I got a book titled Anatomy and Physiology. I contacted the seller and to this day have received no repsonse. It has been over a month.

Great book, very in depth. I feel like every page contained enough information to make me go "wow". Organized and relevant.
