DESCRIPTION:
Horrible book JWest This book could easily be condensed to 100 pages if the author took out the constant repitition and examples. I am fine with one or two examples being used to clarify a subject but this book is seriously about 3/4ths examples. The book is also incredibly dry and an overall pain to read.. MSKI8877 said Difficult to follow. By far, this is the most difficult to read textbook that I've ever encountered. It is filled with repetition that makes you feel as if you've read the same line over and over again. Possibly worse so, the book is quite dry and full of sentences (many of which are fragments) that will make you stop and wonder what in the world the author is talking about.. "Excellent book" according to N Carbonneau. Excellent book, learned a lot from it. Very informative and easy to read. Help a lot to undeestand the class concepts. Delivery was fast and the book was in excellent shape when I received it.
