Title: Skips too many details and is hard to read
Product review: This is the required book for our graduate-level computational biology class. I think I represent most of the class when I say the book does a very poor job explaining concepts. There seems to be a pervasive fear of mathematics, which leads to long confusing attempts to explain algorithms by words alone. The writing also seems unnecessarily wordy and opaque. This book also contains many typos, though that may improve in future editions. For some reason, it also costs at least twice as much as most other books on the topic.
