Very user friendly!
This book is very easy to use. The format makes it simple to review and apply in practice. Very handy to have in your 'tool box'.

lots of great information
This book was a wonderful compliment to the course I took. Keep in mind that it is a textbook though so perhaps too dense if you are only looking for light before bed reading.
