As far as textbooks are concerned, this is the best one I have read.
Schick was able to keep my interest. He did not drop down to painfully simple vocabulary, nor did he elevate his diction to pretentious heights, nor did he keep the information dry. Rather, the book contains succinct but informative thought experiments, explanations, and counterexamples. I as a Trekkie also happened to enjoy the frequent mentions to TOS and TNG...
That being said, the book's shortcoming comes in the form of a few unconvincing thought experiments and counterexamples. Some of the examples countering the soul theory seemed slightly off-base, for example. Many of the thought experiments and counterexamples mentioned are important and well-known, but a few of them are not the strongest out there in the philosophical world.
Many concepts are reduced slightly oversimplistically at times, but it is a very good book for introducing students to philosophy.
