Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Jolly Good Comment: If you order directly from amazon, you usually get it the fastest, and to me, speed was the number one priority. Customer Rating: Summary: Cheaper than the University Bookstore Comment: I havent even taken this book from it's packaging, but all I know for sure is that I paid far less on Amazon than I would have at the University Bookstore and that's all that needs to be said. I give this book 5 stars for that reason alone. More Reviews
