Reviews

[Brian · Rating 2 out of 5]

This is a text book, this review should be taken in context.

Information is well documented and scholarly, providing outside resources for many topics.

Difficult to read: Dry, not well organized with regards to flow of information or ease of comprehension. Subheadings few and far between. Overuse of acronyms that aren't commonly known made me spend time going back to try to find the first usage for a reminder of what it meant.

Average personal reading time without needing a break: 15 minutes
