The rating is not for the content of the book. This is for play version of the book. Five stars for the content. The book has a very low quality resolution. Can't read it without getting irritated eyes. Moreover reading offline also has issues, only on device limit in Adobe digital editions. If your computer screws up, forget offline reading. Zero stars for google play books support. They can't even reset the license for offline reading. Better purchase a print version

I've been using this for the past week. The book is well organized and my confidence grows after understanding each problem. Somethings to improve upon: - quality of the ebook is sub-par. I'd recommend a printed version - the explanation of how to approach a problem can be improved.

Authors have updated the book. The main change is that problems and solutions have been merged together, so there is no more need to jump back and forth. And also the search functionality has been fixed. There are still some minor issues with the navigation (that's why minus one star), but overall readability have been greatly improved. And the content itself is as great as before :)
