Don't know about that -- I bought it (unseen) a week or so ago since I've
never had bad luck with a book from O'Reilly. Until now.

Now, I enjoy reading dense prose. But this is one of those books where I
know less after reading a page than I did beforehand. It's about as clear as
postmodern literary criticism.

This is not a book for reading, this is a book for lying down and avoiding.
