 For a text book, it's great!
As mentioned in the title, it's a text book, but it's very informative. Gets down in the weeds and is very thorough. Was a good read and great for the class we were required to have it for! There are a few chapters that I didn't read thoroughly, and now that the class is over, I intend to go back and reread!

 Does the job but too verbose
This book is long and verbose with a lot of redundancy. That said, it covers most of the necessary topics required for a business school strategy class. The cases are actually pretty good, though I saw some citations from wikipedia articles, which I think is a bit sloppy. As with many business books these days, the production quality is high, the book is filled with pictures, graphs and plenty of color. However, I worry that this may have been done as an excuse to jack up the price.

Great Book!
Information is very useful. Cases help understanding the material. Although, some companies presented in the cases no longer exist. So if you need to write a review, please make sure you check updated information.
