Negative Positive
Title: Lousy at best
Review: 1 star because one can't give a rating lower than that. The authors do a good job of repeating trivial stuff over and over again. But when it comes to algorithmic or mathematical treatment of the subject, they seem to be at their wit's end. Consider this : According to authors, 2^56 + 2^56 = 2^112. Basic mathematics knowledge would have been suffiecient to calculate the above i.e 2^56 + 2^56 = 2*2^56 = 2^57.I think now one can start judging the faith one can have in the authors and the book. The authors make it apparent in the first few chapters itself that one should not expect any sensible treatment of the topic. I would recommend this book to all those who have never experienced frustration in life and are looking for a first-hand experience.
