Customer Reviews

MARRIAGE & THE FAMILY REVIEW

I ordered this book at a good cost, and received the book in a timely manner. I had this book within a week of me ordering it. Appreciate the quick shipment!

Used for college course.

Seems like this is an appropriate book for the college course im taking. My course is called 'Family & Close Relationships' for Human Development & Family Studies is my major at UNC-G. I ordered the book in good condition and a good price compared to the campus new and used price. Book is easy to read and understand.

Textbook

I bought this order used to save money. The order arrived quickly, but was in MUCH worse condition than described. I will most likely be returning it.

Author vs. Book

Personally, I feel that if you're going to write a book about how to make relationships last, manners should come into account as well. Although the book was clean and a fast read, I thought David Knox was very impolite. I e-mailed him to tell him how much I enjoyed the book and asked a couple questions. He e-mailed me back with answers, asked what class I was in, but never said "Thank you". If that isn't irony, what is? I will never read another book by this author again just because of that--impressions count for a lot and his didn't settle with me at all. If it's for a class, I'll fight it.
