Useful for coursework, but other than that pretty boring. It just went on & on!

BORING!! My goodness I didnt think that a book could get anymore boring! Don't bother buying this unless its compulsory reading! For such an interesting subject this book has definately fallen below expectations.
Even for those of you that aren't psychologically minded! - By: , 08 Nov 2000 This book is ideal for those people that haven't got a clue what child development is all about, and/or those that need further grounding on it.
The first few chapters build up a little background knowledge to psychologyin general & the history of child delevopment, so those of you that know relatively nothing aren't thrownin at the deep end.
It is both comprehendible & quite easy to read. Jargon is explained & psychological models are illustrated clearly & plainly. It lacks nothing. All areas are coveredin sufficient depth & reference to interesting research has been included to keep your attention focused.
Allin all; worth buying.
