[Stephanie · Rating 4 out of 5]

Wasn't a huge fan of this book, although it was decent. It explains different types of MS fairly well but to my own liking, it talked too much about stuff that isn't very important.
I'm just a student so I'm not an expert at all but I feel like this book took to long explaining unnecessary stuff and not enough time explaining concepts.
Nevertheless, I flew through it by nice writing. As a student I also appreciated the exercises with answers at the end!
