I returned this book in frustration

I don't know which book these other reviewers read, but they probably read it in bias (friends of the author perhaps?). As another recent reviewer remarked, this book is incredibly meandering and disjointed. Plus it's just plain difficult to read because of the terrible formatting - the fonts are all wrong and too large making the book much larger that I actually should be. Printing in a normal font would make this book 1/2 the size. Also - all code is printed in double space, somewhat italicized font and for whatever reason (perhaps because I've been developing for over 20 years) it makes the code very difficult to read. Lastly - I don't like his choice of pseudo code to explain concepts. It would have been better to explain a concept such as Algorithmic Complexity using JAVA code, not the pseudo code as done in this book.
