Title: Annoying and overly complicated
Product review: I guess I was expecting something like the Dummies or Complete Idiot's series, both of which work quite well. This does not. The author's tone is both cloying and overly chatty; neither trait makes the information any clearer. If anything, they made me loathe the book so much I couldn't get much out of it. And the ribbons and bookmarks! Ugh! I tried cutting and labelling all the "bouncing bookmarks" and "resting ribbons" but got sick of the whole business so soon I never really got to use them. If there were no other sources of info on this topic, I suppose this would have to do, but since it isn't, I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone.In fairness, the author means well and knows her subject. Perhaps there are readers who would find her charming; I don't and that ruined it for me.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
