Negative Positive
Title: thumbs down
Review: This book is abysmally written. It appears to be filled with technically accurate information, but not organized in a form amenable to learning. It is probably not even appropriate for an expert: an expert could probably verify its correctness, but it's not organized appropriately to be used as reference.I have a PhD in computer science and I'm used to working hard to master technical material without assistance. However, I found it extremely difficult to fight off the feeling that these authors' goal was to parade what they know without actually sharing it.There's no need to pay extra money for color photographs of the authors' car license plates and a half-breed cat. Buy Durbin, Eddy, Krogh, Mitchison's well-written book instead.
