"It was a dry read. Whenever Kager tries to make a point--or at least, in the four chapters I read--he'll use examples with inputs and everything all described to prove his point, but you never get data like that in the real world."

"He doesn't expand. He explains concepts in like two words."

And yet he says it in a pointlessly wordy way. It's so thick, this book, when you see how many slides we look at in class and how clear they are."

"He fudges his examples."

"He throws all these language-specific constraints out there that just apply to what he's trying to prove."

"There should be a master chapter on all the constraints he uses."

"This book is just awkward." ( )
