Negative Positive
Title: Not for the absolute beginner
Review: I purchasd the book based on the other reviews, but it hasn't lived up to them so far.I would not say this is a book for the complete novice as it introduces concepts without then explaining them, so the reader needs prior knowledge in order to understand them.Also I'm only on page 11 and have found a contradiction in the text which the beginner would find confusing.In paragraph one the book says a torch wll be fully lit if the potentiometer is set for it's lowest resistance, but then in paragraph 3 contradicts this by saying that when the potentiometer is at it's maximum reistance the torch will be fully lit.It is only because I have a vague knowledge of what a resistor is that I could work out that paragraph 1 was correct and paragraph 3 incorrect.This doesn't fill me with confidence about the remaining content of the book.So for these reasons I would not recommend this book.
Is the review positive or negative?
