The author really needs to edit and proofread his work and/or have an editor review prior to publishing. It appears from the writing that English is not the author's primary language or his ability to write technical material needs to mature. There are many places where grammar is incorrect, tense changes mid-sentence, etc. Nearly ever paragraph had some issues with missing conjunctions and other parts of speech. For me, it read more like a translated book then one that was written for English readers.
I also felt that some of the sections were simply overviews that lacked any depth of information for a new person to the Arduino platform. There were some good samples and examples, but I would have like the author to spend more time thinking as if he were a beginner to the product and write to this level. It was a good primer or overview if you can get past all the issues with his writing.
