Title: Rough is right!
Review: While reading this book didn't make my knees buckle or cause me to become light-headed, there were some pretty careless mistakes. The writing is pretty terrible, and it has the annoying tone of a gossip column. The whole book is laid out in a bullet(ish) People magazine style.It has no value as a reference book, since you can't trust any information in it as being true. I thought I was learning some interesting stuff until the moment I hit my third stupid error; so now everything in it is suspect. I think a lot of the trouble can be attributed to careless writing and not checking one's sources.On the plus side (and even though the interior art and layout is pretty lame), I found the size, shape, and stupid Spiderman cover strangely alluring. Its just a neat size; maybe somebody could write a factual reference book in this format.
Is the review positive or negative?
