The book to buy

I got a bit upset when I read the review by the person who referred to it as 'the Bible BUT....' This is the most comprehensive book on the subject, by one of the best ever scientists in this field. To suggest that that the author's knowledge is questionable (or 'nquestionable' as he/she puts it) is laughable. Based on the other reviewer's poor use of English, their struggle with understanding the book is likely due to their intelligence or English proficiency, or both. Sure the book isn't perfect, and it is complex, but to give it one star is ridiculous.
