Title: Sample code doesn't build...
Review: With VC6, the sample code doesn't build out of the box and the author isn't forthcoming with addressing the problems. Some header files are missing and yet all you can get from the author is that the code was built with VC5 and needs re-writing for VC6 (which is not true, btw.) The guy didn't bother to include any build comments in the book and doesn't want to be bothered now.
Is the review positive or negative?
