Review title: Convoluted
Product review: I was required to purchase this book for a class, and I must say that it is by far one of the worst textbooks that has ever been foisted upon me.BDM seems to take great joy in turning very simple, very obvious concepts into extremely convoluted, over-bloated metaphors with PLENTY of self-referential citation thrown in for good measure.The book is difficult to follow at times. I found myself frequently re-reading paragraphs to make sure I wasn't missing something important, because the concepts that he took four pages to explain couldn't POSSIBLY be as simple as I was understanding them to be, right?! Wrong. They ARE that simple, and most of the text in this book is essentially pointless.In short, use the glossary in this book if you must, and take notes from that. At least that way you can avoid most of the self-adulation and long-windedness.
