Title: Full of Mistakes and Poorly Written
Review: It's hard to say where to start -- this is the most poorly written technical book I have read.It is full of mistakes, and I'm not talking about typos. I'm talking about real, substantive technical mistakes. I lost track as I was reading, but I estimate about one major mistake per page. At first I thought it was poor editing, but now I am beginning to wonder whether the authors really know the material.It is also poorly organized and very repetitive. The authors will say the same thing several times in one paragraph by just changing the order of the words. Then they will repeat themselves again in a few pages. It's very frustrating.Finally, the editing job is very poor -- missing and incorrect figures, etc.I'm very disappointed in this book, and I doubt that the reviewers who gave it 5 stars even read it. Normally I am a big fan of Cisco Press books, but this one is an exception.
Is the review positive or negative?
