I usually like these 'For Beginners' books, and not just because I'm lazy. This one, though, is really jumbled, with overly jumpy graphics and random-seeming dialogues scattered throughout. It also descends into a socialist rant at the end, which is fine by me in principle, but not especially relevant to the matter at hand - it sort of seemed like a waste of space in this already slim book.
