My only issue is that the lace-hooks at the top seem to be rough and are wearing through the laces on a regular basis.Well worth the money.

Review title: great buildings, good stories, bad writer Product review: this book is barely enjoyable and only in spite of the truly awful stylings of mr okrent. his conversational overuse of simile forced me to put the book down several times -- beyond tedious. his cutesy language is even more frustrating when coupled unnecessary sesquipedalia. i'd prefer cogently connected chapters any day. further, the images he selected do not enhance the story.most of these complaints have nothing to do with the admittedly complex and large scale of the story. i am a graduate student in a real estate development program in new york. anecdotes about rock center have come up in various classes and i was eager to learn more. while this book does contain salient facts and stories, it is difficult to recommend something so poorly crafted.

Product review: After some experience programming in C++, my big lament is that there are certain aspects of the language that don't stick with me and that I have to look up every time. There are also certain other aspects whose purpose is not altogether clear. I found Brian Overland's book reached its goal of explaining C++ in plain English. I finally understand a whole host of things that mystified me before. It is also a useful reference. It seemd that as I was reading, questions would come to mind. As though Brian had anticipated the logical quetion, he would usually answer it in the next paragraph. Regarding shortcomings, there was a place or two where the English got a little to plain, to the point of tediousness, but this didn't happen much. Also, the book contains numerous typos and at least one or two serious technical errors. These should be corrected in subsequent editions. I hope that Brian writes more books, perhaps about MFC programming.
