It’s an easy read even if you’re not a linguist (or a CS dude); a totally reader-friendly, I would say. Every chapter felt like a relaxed chitchat with a friend at the end of a long tiresome working day. What was missing in between? A large pizza or a thick hot chocolate, probably, to make me give it a 5.
