The book started well with the theoretical part, and some decent activities.

Then I realized that the structure was repeated almost continuously, and the label was changed. This was disappointing. Or perhaps it's because I have come across much more effective and engaging activities.

I found some gems among the 40% (I'm being generous) of arrogant filler and blank pages. I'm not lying when I say Epstein took 2 particular (non)lessons and just copy/pasted them to fill a huge percentage of the book. The good news is that I can put a couple of these exercises in my repertoire for when a skeptical audience member needs to hear "Here's a little ditty from a guy from HARVARD. Ooooooo." So, for that I thank you, Robert Epstein. But mostly your book sucks.
