Blunt and to the point, good info delivered harshly
The author is really arrogant but he tells you that he's going to be that way up front, and I don't mind it. But if you don't like confrontation, or have a hard time being yelled at, then this book will make you upset and you should get a different one. The info is very good, the examples are clear, doesn't waste time with fluff, gets to the point fast. If someone nice wrote this book it would be twice as long.
