Customer Reviews

Challenging, but you can always learn from it.

Every chapter I goes like this: "What I am so confused I dont have any clue whats going on." Then, rereading and looking from another perspective its "ok I understand 50%." And then put some critical thinking into it, it's "I now have a good understanding." Its a book with a strong learning curve but I learned a lot and it made me interested when I didn't expect I would.
