Huh?

[Mason Malmuth]

Hi binions:

I had the same reaction. One problem with reviews like this is that inexperienced players tend to over rate books that are easy to read regardless as to how accurate they might be.

Best wishes,
Mason

Which is why averages kick ass... ;p

I didn't find any of the books I reviewed difficult to read.

You insulted the holy bible, therefore, you will have hell to pay. After all, no one could not like SSHE could they?

[TheShootah]

How anyone can get SSHE a bad rating and give Roy Wests book on Stud a good rating boggles my mind.
