Reviews

[Muriel · Rating 2 out of 5]

Unfortunate for including statistics of late 20th century as news -- it gets outdated really fast. There was little new in this book, you read and could not help noticing these are cliche.
The foreword by Premier seems to be boilerplate government bureaucratese too.
