[Tiff Miller · Rating 3 out of 5]

The writing style is easy and accessible. Very informative and useful for me in many ways. However, I can't give it more than 3 stars because 1) So. Many. Typos. And weird formatting errors throughout. Small, petty, to be sure, but it bugs the editor in me. 2) Nothing truly revolutionary, but a great foundation for me in understanding how I can do my own work.
