Title: Awkward, all-night cram session
Review: Couldn't get past the first three chapters. The outline approach should have taken fewer words to describe the material, but the book failed. The text was overly wordy and cryptic. Imagine a lecture from your worst professor ever, but now you can't ask questions. The diagrams only make it worse.Author seemed very knowledgeable and two more times through the editor/review process would probably produce an excellent educated text on the material.Taking the book back and looking at some of the other reviewed books on this site.Had good experience with the "in a nutshell" brand, so bought the book without doing a serious flipthrough. Won't do that again.
Is the review positive or negative?
