Let's face it, you're probably buying this because a professor assigned it, not for light reading. It's great for some theories (Holland, and Social-Cognitive). But for others (Super's Theory, for example), it's completely unintelligible. It's a very dry book, which is to be expected, but it could really do a much better job of illustrating some of the theories and clearly laying out the core components of a theory in bullet form as well as in prose. The case studies are helpful at times, but I dislike their approach of trying to use the same case study for every single theory. There are times when the client's situation calls for certain theoretical approaches and disqualifies others, and that's just the way it is. (If you try and use a trait-and-factor approach when the client's work is causing problems with his/her home life, then that's not going to be terribly helpful). There are smaller case studies in each chapter, however, and those can be helpful. If you have a great professor (like I did) and review a lot of the theories in class, you'll be fine, but if you try and just use this book as your only resource, you'll be disappointed.

The Kindle version of this book is the 1st edition, not the newer 2nd edition. I paid $45 for this book and can't use it in my class, since the newer edition has a lot more content than the 1999 edition. Apparently there is no Kindle version of the 2nd edition. However, the page for the 2nd edition of this book links to the Kindle version of the 1st edition without noting that they are not the same edition. The covers differ but I did not notice in time. The book may be good but it is the wrong one for my class.
