I don't know if I didn't like the delivery or the concept itself. It left me feeling very confused.

This reads like a launching pad of topics to research further. I feel much more informed after finishing it.

While in no way a "complete guide," this was colorful and entertaining. The information is already a little outdated but the essential, basic information is presented in palatable way for the beginner.
