This book was very helpful and detailed. I did my algebra class online so I didn't have a teacher right infront of me when I had a question. Luckily, because of this books' specifity and detailed explinations, I was able to answer my own question and not have to go through the lengthy process of e-mailing back and forth with my teacher to get an answer.
 An awful algebra book July 8, 2007

For the price, you would expect a textbook that goes over algebra in enough detail to instil the student with confidence and the ability to work with algebra with ease.
Unfortuntaely this is not the case. The textbook does a terrible job explaining concepts, with many not included at all. The book contained a lot of questions, but the type of questions for which one should be able to answer in college algebra are unrelated to the text examples because they are a different type of question.
The organization of the book is horrendous, as it is filled with tidbits of information throughout, going offtopic throughout.
I cannot recommend this book at all, as it just adds to the stress of a math course. Please consider other options if you want to spend your time learning and not frustrated trying to decipher the book.
If you are wanting an easy time with college algebra, I strongly suggest Barron's Algebra The Easy Way and Idiot's Guide To Algebra
