Conclusion:
Even though there was some questionable content, I really enjoyed the book. When I first started reading it I thought I was going to have to make myself get through it, but by chapter two I was addicted! :)
Plus the book had large margins! The font was a little small but not too bad...
And if your know my preference for books you'll understand why I said that!
