2.0 out of 5 starsMakes an Interesting Topic Extremely Boring

My major is computer science but this book almost made me seriously consider choosing a different area. I thankfully didn't but I came pretty close.
Why? Extremely poor explanation of topics, lack of good examples, and just an overall lack of engagement with the reader. I know the goal of a textbook like this isn't to entertain the reader, but at least make the material interesting and meaningful. Because it is, it's just the way the topic is presented here makes it so difficult to learn what is being taught that I doubt most people will find this book a good learning experience.
