This article is much better introduction to social network analysis.

It's a shame that nobody in the field of social network know how to write a proper book.

Full of fluff. Some people think this, some people think that. What's your conclusion? Examples. History. Background. Trivial details of the kind of how to turn on your computer. None of these are useful.

Zero structure and emphasis. Paragraphs after paragraphs. Not a single bold or italic letter can be found throughout the book. Can you believe this?

Reads like a nagging grandma.

Unbearable.

Only 1% of the contents are relevant, but I no longer have the patience for it. I can learn more from a single Wikipedia page than this two hundred pages book. It's a shame.
