1.0 out of 5 stars I disagree...., March 3, 2008

By	Mark B. Flores "transcend_the_mundane" (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I disagree with the other reviewers. This book is not substantial at all and does not give you any information that you couldn't get yourself from 5 minutes on the net. Not to mention there is a part of the book where the pages repeat themselves. I may be biased as I have not read other Pit Bull books to make a comparison. However, I read a LOT of books with many of them instructional, and I have to say, this one just plain SUCKS. Look for something else.
