The book

So I just figured I'd give a little review of the book.  You know, the one we read for class.  It was okay.  For me it was a bit of a dry read.  I learned a lot of things from it, though.  In that regard, I felt that this book was much more useful than most textbooks I have to read for classes.  I did, however, forget the majority of what I read, so I guess you could say it is and isn't better in that regard...  The first chapter was more dry than the others for me.  It really kind of set the basis for my expectations, though, so perhaps I was reading the rest in a way that I would be naturally and pleasantly surprised because I had built the book down in my own mind.  Anyway, I just thought I'd mention that.  Let me know what you all thought.
