Difficult to follow...

This book is, at this point, the only one of its kind but its very difficult to follow in my opinion. When discussing how to create connectors a lot is left out I assume to force the reader to fill in the holes as they learn what they are doing but aren't we reading this book to actually learn how BCS works? Again, I applaud the others because this book provides phenomenal information on the topic but its a sub par learning tool if you would like to be shown straight forward basic techniques that walk you through the process. There is a lot of information on Office 2010 connecting to BCS which was not my goal for buying the book so at this point I pretty much skipped 1/3 of the book. I wanted to learn in depth development of BCS from .NET developers perspective and towards the end of the book they eventually get there but I expected that to be the majority of the book which is was not. I learned more about actually creating a BCS connector using Sharepoint 2010 Development with Visual Studio 2010.

The translation to English has stolen the eyes of this story...if you were able to struggle through it, you know what I mean. I wanted to like the book but it was an uphill grind - I did finish it but only because I forced myself. The story could have (and may have) been worth the effort  in the author's native language but in English, it was very difficult to follow - a little like technical directions written in Korean and then translated to English - sentence structure and vocabulary choices were just a bit off... and the flow was non-existent.

probably the most tedious to read ..it is a strange style...the author may be a good journalist, but i have read many good books and best sellers, but this book was by far the most tedious to read due to its confusing style of writing. just one example The reader gets confused because the writer on many occassions keeps using different names for each character in a way that is not smooth and needs major re-editing to be honest. I have stopped reading this book half-way..and i have never ever done that in over 35  years of reading good books....

Very hard to follow...scenario changed way too much to keep up with all the ideas. But good concept though.

Hard to follow.  The prose was a bit foreign to me... perhaps better for a British person.

I have read two of this series and find that they are hard to follow; are very slow and drawn out.

Not an easy read... pretty "flighty" swoops around from subject to subject, really difficult to follow. Wouldn't particularily reccomend.

This over all was a good book, but it was very hard to follow and it took a long time to figure out.

I can only critique the writing and organization of this book.  The content was very hard for me to follow.  First I am not a lover of history.  This is a bookclub selection and I had to read it. I found it disorganized and difficult to follow a storyline.  There were so many names and so many manuscripts.  I wish I had counted the many characters that are discussed----way too many.  I finally followed just the main character.  People came in and out of Poggio's life too fast to keep up. I realize the failure is mine, but I was  glad to reach the end.

This book had a decent story line, but it just seemed very hard to follow. I think it needed a bit more filling in of details to connect the different parts of the story. It seemed very disjointed to me.

the story seems very disjointed and i had trouble keeping track of all the characters.  i'm still reading and trying to stick with it.

I found it very difficult to follow the plot of the story and to stay involved, because there was so much religious focus. I skim read the last100 plus pages because it was very distracting.

.  I am not quite finished with the AngryWoman Suite.  Found it to be confusing and difficult to follow at this point.

This is a hard read. The story is over-complicated - not as a plot, but the way it's written. As a reader you struggle to keep up and to understand what is essential in almost each situation. Something outrageous might happen, only to be forgotten one sentence later. Important parts are described in a sketchy manner, sometimes I had to go back just to check if I've managed to skip pages by mistake. It's as if the writer himself isn't sure what is important for the storyline and what is not.

The heart of the book are the 8 animal-style movements.  Unfortunately, the descriptions of the movements, even with the step-by-step photos, are difficult to understand and follow.  I am already quite familiar with tai chi, but still found the descriptions hard to follow.  Perhaps a DVD would have been more helpful.

I found it difficult to follow the story line given my unfamiliarity with the names and particularly with the main character who is a female passing as a man.  The pronouns he/she kept changing at the character changed gender, but I read it primarily to learn more about Egypt in the middle ages and the burning of the Library but nothing of interest was learned.

I found this book difficult to read. The author seems to have complicated what is not particularly difficult to understand. Even when the author was explaining stuff I already knew I found it difficult to follow. A great shame, as he knows his stuff. He reminds me of a mathmatician I know, who when asked the question: what is 2 x 2, spend 30 minutes giving the answer. I now wonder if his other book: View Camera Technique is written in a similar style.
