    Far from Ho-Hum...

    Hi...

    I saw a chapter of it available on-line and read through it. The authors take a very subtle, yet quite effective --- "hey, your buddy just wrote a book, and give it a read" approach.
    It's delightful in many places just in that one excerpt. I am strongly leaning towards buying it for my library, as I do have questions looking for answers.
    It's a friendly read, and a good resource.

    Brilliant!

    I went into the bookstore not looking for anything in particular. I walked up to the customer book locator computer and type this title in for a gag. Bingo! Wow, a title that actually fits!! The rating I give this book? Well the book is ho-hum, blah blah blah, god stuff, but the title alone made my day! A regular riot!
