Special Edition Using Crystal Reports 10 Review by PeterG
A Tedius and Boring Read
I bought this book because of its 5 star reviews. Well, all I can say is, I must have read a different book than the previous reviewers, or they must have been friends of the author, because I can't believe anyone would rate this book highly.
It is long, tedious, poorly written and shows signs of not being proof-read properly:
* Contains lots of lists and descriptions to fill up space without adding conceptual content (do we really need to see every field on a form in a list?).
* Poorly structured. All of the narrative appears at the front of a section followed by examples that don't properly illustrate the text.
* Many examples contain errors and are difficult to follow, again, because they aren't properly tied into the narrative.
