It was such thorough introduction to python. Although my brain has failed to retain 100% of the information, I certainly know now where to look if the need shall ever arise for me to do anything with python. Quite certainly a useful start to the language.

Although the core of the content is very invaluable, the format of the book which is a transcript of a seminar makes the book hardly readable at times

February 18, 2014

The way it was composed, the word play and the satire was quite unusual although the content itself was pretty straightforward. It seems like the author ran out of brilliant things to write yet kept writing to make up a book halfway through and made up some fillers at the end.

With clear and beautiful depiction of the lives lived by the poorest of the poor, this book leaves you feeling grateful for the life you possess, whatever that life may be.

As the country opens up more and more, I'm sure many books like this: a tale of suffering under the past regime, will be published. But I doubt any of those would make a reader feel delighted and depressed at the same time.

The basic principle of the argument of this book has more or less strong, fundamental truth beneath it. However, it was structured so naively in the midst of apologetic, defensive and mildly emotional tone so that the author didn't let the reader come to his own conclusions.

A collection of the author's recent essays about her daughter, neighbor and a brother. While I love the first two, the last one was a bit of a stretch.

A poorly written fiction with sole purpose of educating the philosophical values of Buddhism, the nature of impermanence and the effects of desire brought to you by three generations of unrealistic extreme characters.

A collection of disorganized articles about critical thinking. The author, with the help of many anecdotes, depicted the various topics that he wanted to cover. While a great introductory reading about critical thinking, each topic is worthy of its own book/or books.

I find that the book's lengthy theories uncoupled with little or no hands-on experience involved makes it irritatingly hard to consume. Although I might keep this book in my library merely for reference purposes, I hardly think it's worth the price tag.

This title Includes very good examples and easy-to-understand explanation about many concepts within AngularJS.

What a weird and bizarre book. I had forced myself to relate to Siddhartha all along until the story brought him back to the River where it all just go loopy from there. Would anybody care to explain to me the point of all his search and the triumph of his resolution at all?

About 60% of the book in I have already figured out how it would inevitably end so that it feels unnecessarily long and drawn out to reach the conclusion.

Like many other reviewers has said, this book is an absolute necessity for all the newbies who are learning ruby on rails for all sorts of reasons. I certainly like the way the book leads you to dig right into the coding something basic before educating you with all the little details afterwards.

This book gives you a great overview (overview being the keyword here) of what could be possible, how to implement different use-cases and how to handle different edge cases in an event-driven system using Apache Kafka.
