Not valuable for the beginner, intermediate, or expert.
The transitions feel unconnected and would leave a beginner/intermediate feeling very lost. Much time is spent reiterating the same simple topic, but advanced topics are little more than hinted at. It is not valuable for the beginner, intermediate, or expert. The writer is likely not good at the topic, not good at conveying it, or was hindered in the design. There are many books that are better and cheaper than this. I wish I could be kinder. Save the money and the time. It is not even good as a relaxing bath read.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
