E&E lover--hated it:
I own all of the E&Es from the classes I have taken so far and find them all useful, except this one. I felt like this author tried too hard to prove how tricky and smart he was.

Mediocre:
The Examples and Explanations series is usually very helpful for my studying. However, this particular book has inaccuracies, and the explanations are difficult to understand.
