very readable

It was interesting to follow a case study through all the chapters of the book. It provided a continuity that helped the reader identify with the family and concepts being presented. The author's voice is easy to understand and explains everything as he goes along, which is also another reason this book is a quick read. My favorite textbook for the class I'm taking!
