Review title: This book is terrible, especially for those new to nuclear engineering
Product review: There are only 1 or 2 books that I have wanted to burn more than this one. The chapters seem reasonable when reading through them; however, when you attempt to solve the problems at the end of the chapter you realize that the chapter you just read was useless. After realizing this, you look for sample problems, which there are very few of and they rarely seem to help. The problems at the end of the chapter are often poorly worded and the author wants you to take leaps and bounds to make assumptions to solve problems. It is annoying and not at all intuitive. Even my professor has admitted that the book sucks and that he will be looking for a new book to teach from. Maybe this book wouldn't seem so bad if I had taken nuclear physics first, but I'm not sure if that would really help. Please do not buy this book, it will only reinforce the publisher's desire to sell it and not replace it with something better.
