[Brenda · Rating 2 out of 5]

I had to read this book for a college class, and it is extremely dry content that is very difficult to read through. The font is super tiny and each chapter has 50-85 pages front/back, with little to nothing to separate the words (few charts or side descriptions most other books have that really help break up the monotony of back type on white).

The first few topics are very informative and helpful, but later the book dives into statistical analysis and sourcing metrics that should be saved for an analyst course.
