Title: Amateur
Review: Let's get one thing clear ... this guide is woefully out of date. But that's the least of its problems. More disappointing is Slade's demonstrated lack of expertise on this subject. He's simply a librarian, culling some obvious facts and figures and resources from the mainstream without truly understanding it.Worse, he can't write. His poorly constructed sentences are incomprehensible. For example: "It seems to be related to Cohen's proof, by contradiction, that the problem of identification of any given program as 'viral' or 'non-viral' is undecidable." Eh? And there's page after page of prose like this! This is a disaster masquerading as a book.
Is the review positive or negative?
