Reader Reviews I'm a beginning db student, and this book is bad. Really bad. I'll just pick a few words that describe my experience with it: verbose, awkward, vague, anguishing... Mine is now filled with handwritten corrections that our professor helped us add (I can't believe how many typos slipped through editing). Our whole class pretty much agrees that this book still needs some serious work before it could be considered publishing material. The university department chose this book based on Kroenke's excellent teaching and database reputation. However, it seems that he really has no idea of how to put together a good book. Something criticized in other reviews is the text's layout. I agree--it's horrendous. You are often reading about a diagram two pages back, or one page ahead. In fact, I'd say that, more often than not, when the illustrations are referenced, it is on a totally separate page. (Did that make sense?) Example: "Figure 4-5a shows how......." So you'll have to flip two pages back to see the illustration. Ugh! I normally love learning, but I really have to force myself to trudge through this drivel. Comment | | (Report this)
