I have used this book for four semesters in my Communication Theory courses. In terms of organization, readability, and application this is one of the strongest communication theory textbooks I have found. It has good breadth and is particularly strong in examining the theoretical positions which are endemic to the discipline of communication. When considering a new textbook for your communication theory course this book merits serious consideration.
Above average for a textbook.

I am a college student currently in a class with Dr. Cragen and I find the book to be an excellent companion to his lecture. However, having one of the authors as my instructor is a large advantage. The reading may be tedious, and not having direct access to one of the authors may be detrimental. Overall, the book is able to accomplish what it intends to do.
