This book is well thought out. I like the fact that they are like stories so I have related myself a lot of times when I read them.
The authors have themselves proved through this book that their Project (this book) is a success. Yes.

Good one. I generally read novels or stories kind of books, so I was bit confused while starting this one. But I liked it lot, because each points are explained it very well and every chapter begins with a small interesting story so we can understand it easily. Points briefly mentioned at the end of each chapter that was amazing. Overall nice work.
