Personally, I feel that if you're going to write a book about how to make relationships last, manners should come into account as well. Although the book was clean and a fast read, I thought David Knox was very impolite. I e-mailed him to tell him how much I enjoyed the book and asked a couple questions. He e-mailed me back with answers, asked what class I was in, but never said "Thank you". If that isn't irony, what is? I will never read another book by this author again just because of that--impressions count for a lot and his didn't settle with me at all. If it's for a class, I'll fight it.

This Student Study Guide is an essential tool for students aspiring to secure a good grade. Each chapter has a summary that highlights the essential terms of that learning block. Next students are quizzed on the major concepts and terms of that chapter. Finally, they are tested with multiple choice questions. The latter two testing tools reinforces the learning from the main text - Choices in Relationships - An Introduction to Marriage and the Family - David Knox & Caroline Schact - 6th edition; and saves valuable time in keeping students focussed on the important points to be learned from each chapter. The advantage of the student guide is that many of the evaluation questions find themselves in the assessment that is done by the instructor. This book is a "must" for a good grade.
