Has anyone read this satellite book?

I know the general consensus here is that McEvoy et al. are poor choices for poker info. Is that generally because they appear too weak-tight or because their writing style sucks? Anyway, was wondering if anyone has read this book by them:

Win Your Way Into Big Money Hold'em Tournaments : How to Beat Casino and Online Satellite Poker Tournament (The Championship)
by Brad Daugherty, Tom McEvoy

I think it was previously called Championship Satellite Strategy. I'm considering entering some satellites and was wondering how beneficial this book might be. Yes I have (and have read) HOH.

I found the book to be the worst book that they have written - due to both the poker content and the style of writing.

A third of the book is used to just explain what satillites are. It's probably ok for supplimental reading but I certainly wouldn't pay money for the book.

Don't waste your time. Most of the book is about how satelites work, why you want to play them, and how the WSOP works. What a waste of a tree.
