User review
Insufficient
I was very displeased with this book. It is filled with grammatical errors, and it lacks fluidity and proper writing. Perhaps the writer should read other exam review books first.
User review
0.4 inches thick
The first thing that struck me when I received this book was how thin it is, second by it's large fonts and generous amounts of white space.
I was expecting the book to come with several practice exams, and maybe even a CD-ROM. Neither was the case. At the end of each chapter the book has several review questions, and one or two 'mock exam' questions.
The really irritating thing was the number for the questions and answers never match. I can't believe the author and publisher could be so careless to not even notice the numbers don't match the questions. Did they not have one person proof read the book?
