Difficult to Read

In Standard American bidding a 2:1 bid is a one round force. In 2:1 it is forcing to game. Two versions of 2:1 exist. One by Mike Lawrence and one by Max Hardy. The Max Hardy version is almost a 100% game force. The Mike Lawrence version has many sequences that are not forcing to game. This book explains them all but it often gets difficult to read and you have to remember which sequences are not forcing when you actually use his system while playing bridge. I prefer the Max Hardy version of 2:1. If you are trying to play the Mike Lawrence version of 2:1 then this is the best book to read. For the Max Hardy Version of 2:1 I suggest Bridge In The 21st Century. If you are not a bridge player and were thinking of learning the game this book would be too difficult to read.
