1st read through: 1 star - This was possibly the worst book I had to read. So much redundant information. What is new information needed to be concise and thorough. I feel it lacked both. Disappointing book.

2nd read through: 3 star - More helpful than last read.

Pretty dry and lengthy. There wasn’t really a plot. 😜 I’d suggest reading this book if you need to for a class, but I’d pass for something more fun if that isn’t the case.

Woof... This book was agonizingly long... So much unnecessary and repetitive information. #shrugs
