[Mihai Criveti · Rating 3 out of 5]

A pretty good book, better if you count the excellent video presentations on the website. Most of the stuff he says is common sense, and I mean that in a good way...

Can't say I enjoyed all that "crystal" business or the book structure though.

The quick video presentations though are way above the book, which seems a bit dull in comparison.
