Negative Positive
Title: If you are beginner, look elsewhere...try anything BUT this book!
Review: The last two reviews are right on the mark about this book. If you are a beginner, try anything but this book.The examples are both confusing and hard to follow -- the diagrams do nothing to help. The author's method for noting the moves just adds to the confusion -- he never takes the time to explain it! And it is true -- the text is dry, dry and DRY. The author may know his subject, but it is very hard to extract that knowledge from this book.
Is the review positive or negative?
