Great for theory and understanding, not so much for problem solving
In terms of the fundamentals, it is a very solid book.

This book is good but......
This book is a fun read, the authors are able to bring historical aspects of the development of polymers science to life, as well as give a fairly good overview of the subject matter.

Very funny, informative book
Some of the math needs to be double checked I think, but the tone is very funny and readable.

Look for a different book
This is one of the worst textbooks I have ever had to rely on for a class.
