Reviews

[Sebastian Campos]

Outdated. Dry, but sometimes it recognized that dryness and poked fun at it, so I appreciate that. Very good basic overview, does not go in depth enough and wastes too much ink on things that are not of import.

Unlike most other textbooks, I actually had to read the entirety, so I have to give Craig credit for allowing me to do so.

Good read for school work
