 Advertised Audio Study Guide not available May 17, 2009

I ordered this textbook new and it was as advertised as to quality. "Amazon" delivery was also ahead of schedule. No issues there. The Audio Study product listed as available (back of 2nd page and on the back of the book) does not seem to exist however (contrary to the advertisement). The instructions on page two take you to the Thompson site (actually the Cenage site) and it is not even listed. The instructions on the back cover tell you to proceed to the Cenage site directly yet the results are the same. A Kindle version is for sale but the Audio Study Guide (fee or free) is bogus.

It seems awfully fascinating how customers have only reviewed the "seller" and "shipping" of the book rather than the actual content of Criminology by Siegel.
In any case, I've been using this for my Theories of Crime and Delinquency class at SJSU.
It's a very dense book, I must say first off. It covers a lot of material in a seemingly short amount of time, but it's a very detailed and enlightening book. In an almost narrative an interesting format, since the author seems to be talking to you in a very colloquial tone. I enjoyed that.
However, I felt that a lot of the material could be cut down as well, as there was too much information to navigate through to understand the core concepts. For me, if I understand the core concepts, I'm pretty much set. At times, the material seem to wander off.
Overall, this isn't the worst textbook ever published. It's a fairly decent read. But it could be better.
