Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This book is required for an internet marketing class I am taking. I find it difficult to read. The authors are throwing so much information into each chapter that it is overwhelming and hard to absorb. I also feel that it does not follow a logical path, meaning that they reference other chapters and concepts not yet touched on almost constantly. Very often the other chapters referenced come later in the book so you haven't read them yet if you are going page/chapter order. I would not recommend this book for a student of e-marketing. Perhaps, if you already have experience in this field, you may find it useful, but as a teaching tool I feel it falls short.
