Choppy and hard to read, April 30, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Power SAS: A Survival Guide (Hardcover)
My opinion is that this book is choppy, cryptic and hard to read. It has a strange format where the information is devided up into little blurbs, that made little if any sense. I would humbly recommend that the author take a writing course or two.

A lot of verbage, not much meat, January 12, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Power SAS: A Survival Guide (Hardcover)
If you are out to learn SAS, this book is probably not your best choice. If know SAS reasonably well and want a reference book, this book may or may not be for you. Very little examples of program code and output displays with too many subtitles, that do not flow well.

Utterly and Completely useless, March 2, 2007
This review is from: Power SAS: A Survival Guide (Hardcover)
This is without a doubt the lousiest, laziest, most poorly-written book I have ever tried to use on SAS. It only left me more confused. The approach is a "survey" approach, ie, presented as a summary of the possible commands you can use, without an explanation of syntax, structure or programming ideas. This is clearly meant for computer programmers looking to pick up a little bit of info on SAS. Serious analysts will find nothing but chapter after chapter of mutant schlock-dribble.
