1.0 out of 5 stars horrible, March 29, 2007

By	cathartic malcontent (Lake Charles, LA, USA) - See all my reviews

Undoubtedly, this book is the most horrible piece of published literature that I have ever encountered. I checked it out from my local public library, and I regret that I didn't thumb through it a bit more prior to checking it out. There is very little logical coherence, and the author absolutely slaughters some of the most basic rules of English grammar. The editor should feel ashamed for letting such a monstrosity approvingly pass over his/her desk, and anything else produced by the publisher should be called into question. If this book had been composed by a talented author, it might have been interesting.
