Thoughtful survey on the critical developmental period known as adolescence. Santrock consistently keeps a positive view of this key period in life and successfully characterizes innumerable factors that play a role in the types of behaviors, attitudes, and beliefs that shape individuals.
As a general overview and an introduction to the psychology of adolescence, the textbook cohesively provides an excellent perspective for new students of the field.

A textbook for my adolescent psychology class. And I'll start out with the something. I noticed typos. Me. That's bad since I am just terrible with things like that.
I thought some things were winded in wording that made reading this clunky to read. But it was a psychology book so I was able to power through some of the stuff that made me go, "wait what's this" (not in a what the info is shocking but rather can I comprehend this.)
Overall I found it was interesting and eye-opening. And as one woman in my class said (she was in a much older generation than the rest of us in class) the generation is different nowadays.

A good text book. Since I have teens at home I am keeping this and not reselling it!
