Don't bother with this book
This book is a mixed blessing in some ways. One book devoted to a subject as complex as the reformation is bound to be shallow, but I felt that this one was particularly so. It does have chapters devoted to the Reformation in Finland, Hungary and Poland, unlike most general books on the subject, but this doesn't make up for the lack of detail about everything else.
It reads like a text book, which means that a general reader would find it boring. Unfortunately there is such lack of depth that a reader who can stand the academic style of the writing would not be very interested either. I do not know what kind of reader I would be able to recommend this book to.
As a matter of fact, I had brought it into the office today in order to drop it off at a charity shop. 
Excellent
This book is a realy good read. It is well written and a perfect partner for the Moore College Reformation Module. There is a lot of information included but presented well so you don't get bogged down. Definately one I would recommend reading if you are interested in this period of history
