Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Not so sure about this book
I bought this book based on reviews... and what a mistake I made. I will never do it again.
Please if you have any sense, don't be like me. Check out the book from a local library or bookstore and then make a purchase, otherwise you'll regret it.
