Customer Reviews

Tries to be cute.

By now, looking at the publication date, you can tell this book is a tad dated. However, the information in it is sound and still applicable to today’s environment. I am afraid that this is one of those books that n-o-b-o-d-y likes because if you already know the information, then the book is too basic. If you do not know the information, the book is too confusing. Voodoo is the perfect title for the book, as it gives you a lot of tips and tricks without the bother of telling you the theory or the extension of what you have learned. I must admit that I learned a couple of things from the book. However, it is not worth spending the time and money on those items that I would probably have found eventually.
