Title: How many trees died to make this thing?
Product review: I've read some of the other reviews here and all are either really really good or really really bad which made me wonder about the content--so I got it and I can say that it's really really bad. I can't figure out why some readers find it so helpful and wonderful when it clearly isn't. It's not the worst reference in the world, but it definitely isn't five stars great either. I have bought my share of security references and taken my share of classes so I feel justified in stating that the information could have been organized and written a lot better. It reads as though the author knew what he wanted to say, but it wasn't explained well--which makes for a poor technical guide. It's for those of us out there that want to learn it from someone who not only has the knowledge, but can convey that knowledge in a concise way. Can anyone out there recommend a better guide for me to get this information?
