The book does its job of presenting the different positions that exist in academia on ethics from a philosophical point-of-view and does a pretty good job of raising possible objections to each of the positions. Since it was coming from a secular perspective, it wasn't as useful for me personally as a Christian as it could be. But as a book on ethics, it did its job of presenting each side fairly clearly and without much bias.
Rating: 3-3.5 Stars (Good).

Very well written book on Ethics. It's easy to read and explains the themes very well.
The author focuses a lot on presenting nuanced points of view- this nuance is especially present in the chapter on feminist ethics. This is great and grants the reader a multiple-sided understanding of philosophical theories.
The only thing I did not like, though, was that the book references lots of primary sources without going into depth about them. I would have liked to read a bit more explanation about these texts, as it sometimes feels as though the book is incomplete on its own.
