But I see you did give it a generous rating no less.
Must have some big saving graces then?

Eh... a generous rating for me is usually four or five stars. Three is kind of middle of the bar "I've read worse, but it still needs work." That aside, it does have some great and helpful information and that's really the only thing that gets it three stars instead of two, and honestly it's really probably more like 2.5, but I round up to the next number since Goodreads doesn't allow us to give half stars. Also, with books like this that are meant more of a how to type thing or are basically information dumps, if they do have valuable information even though the delivery and editing (or lack thereof) leave something to be desired, then it'll manage to just squeak by with a 3 star rating for me. I'm writing a review for it for the lit mag I write for, that will likely more accurately represent my rating for it than Goodreads does, since we can give partial stars on there.
