As mentioned in earlier posts, John's book has received only a few
positive reviews and a number of rather odd and very negative ones.
The unfortunate effect is that the summary "stars" rating -- what one
sees initially -- is IMHO very misleading and does damage to a fine
book.
Several people have indicated here on c.l.a. that they highly regarded
the book. Let me suggest to everyone that has both read and enjoyed
John's book to go to www.amazon.com, do a ISBN search on 0201342936,
and enter a review.
I promise this is the last time I will harp on this issue. I learned
Ada from his blue and green books and it really annoys me to see this
latest one unjustifiably trashed.
