There are some annoying, very blatant grammar errors in the book, but it's very interesting and it's always good to see some more Mehdi Al-bashing :-D.


...er..."grammatical errors"....

I do agree with you.  Great book but it needs some editing.  He keeps using "weary" as when he means to use "wary".


Ah, for me as a non-native english reader/speaker it won't be too much of a problem. If there's a word that I can't instantly translate I probably can make the meaning of the word up from the rest of the phrase.

Can't wait until the books gets here :-)

this book is available on Amazon.com brand new for $19.77 and there is even another retailer that sells through the Amazon site that has it for $15 + $3.99 shipping.


Shipping to Europe is probably a tad higher than those 4 bucks. Besides, with the low dollar it's still a pretty decent price for me :-)
