good.

page 12-14 should explain why eval is unsafe, I think.

page 38 mentions ways to convert strings to numbers, and
the quote on page 39 should tell you why matt's "re + eval"
approach can be dangerous...

the next time someone points this out, you could answer
"I know, I have the book" instead of "are you a troll"...
