I never give bad reviews, but this book was so bad it made me unlock the "give 1 star rating on good reads" achievement in my life. Uselessness bordered on books I read back in school days. There were 0 practical examples on anything. It was like the author just copied and pasted the first paragraph of a bunch of interrelated topics and called it a book!
If you want a non-practical, purely theoretical, treatment on the topic of Data Analytics and its relation to Big Data, then go ahead and read this book. If you already walk in that park, this will be an annoying book to take a stroll in. Maybe a high schooler could read it when thinking about a career.
Man, this more like interrelated between all of the main ideas. Everything is too simplified and so theoretical. 2/10 Infeasible, the book itself doesn't explain the branches of analytics, data, etc. All-in-one on surface.
