The book itself isnt bad. It wasnt what I expected. If I had to rate the book itself. Id give it 3 stars due to the authors writing style. Im happy with the purchase and I feel I got a great deal. The author isnt trrrible but certainly not exceptional. In all. there are certainly many interesting points and some of the information I found quite interesting. I loved the design and the pages are all black on the edges which I thought was really cool. Id buy it again.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
