how do you rate a class text?

this is required reading for a class that I am taking. Since it is required - the text could be considered perfect - without it I would be unable to complete the class.

Other than that, the book is well organized, thorough, and dense with information. A good text.

A must read for the layman and the professional.

Prof. Falvo has produced a book that clearly outlines not only the medical concerns, but the very real psychological aspects of chronic illness that are frequently misunderstood. Specific examples are used throughout the book and it is quite readable to someone who is not a medical professional like myself. The author shares her insights and experience to provide the groundwork for trying new approaches.

The book also cites numerous references for someone who is interested in pursuing additional research. I can certainly recommend it for anyone interested in the topic.
