- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Decent book with some good points. BUT oh man, the repetition. Concepts were beaten to death even going so far as to literally say at the end "We presented the same list in the introduction..." and then proceeding to copy and paste the content from the beginning all over again. I know repetition helps learning but maybe it also helps bulk up a book when you need to get it to print and you haven't quite got enough content also?
Still, it was an inspiring read despite this obvious flaw.
