content: It's very educational but the contents...yuck. I want a book to INSPIRE me to USE the program i'm learning, this book has text that'll put you to SLEEP and illustrations a five-year old could have done better. The only thing that keeps me from giving it an "ABSOLUTE SUCKS" review is that you ACTUALLY(!) learn from this book, so if you buy this you'd better be stubborn about learning Flash, otherwise i'd wait until a better, more creatively inspiring book comes along. Learning: 4 stars, Fun: 1 star
