Book Reviews of Contemporary Moral Problems
Book Review: Difficult to comprehend-
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased this book for my daughter's college class. She found the book(and teacher) to be very difficult and dropped the class after two weeks. The teacher actually told the class that they would have to read each chapter about 5 times to understand it.
