First of all, the teaching method is brainless. The author tells you to click here and click there, but barely any reasoning is ever given for why you're doing what you're doing. In the end, you have more questions than answers.

The other major problem is that the explanations that are in the book are horrible and disjointed. Concepts and terms are referenced as if the reader already knows them--even though they aren't explained until later on.

And let's not forget the typos and poor English that dot this book. Was this even edited before going to press? I am so completely dissatisfied with this textbook it's not even funny. It's not valuable for anything except maybe firewood. Total thumbs down! =(
