ok but left too many blanks

I would have liked to get to know the characters more and was,slightly disappointed with the ending. Kept me going though.

Too many of the smaller towns and roads left out  --  could have included more and still been readable.  OK if you want something very basic.  Give them credit for a good binding.

It was ok but there were a lot of mispelled words and some of the discussions seemed to go on and on and on when they didn't need to. I ended up scrolling through a lot of them without missing any of the story.

Ultimately, I enjoyed this book BUT it would have been even better with fewer characters. I had a hard time following all the characters, victims, voices in his head, etc.
  Dont get me wrong...I would still recommend this book. Just be prepared to keep track of a long list of characters.

Coordination of pictures and text left a lot to be desired. In my opinion hard to follow although it was helpful overall.

I realize this was for a fund raiser but there were so many blank pages.  It would be better if there were cartoons front and back but.....

This is a good outline for a much-better book. The author has assembled a collection of events but provides no substantial depth to the story. Missing are events and word-pictures that fill out the story about Kitty and how Kitty mattered. I wish Shawn had had a better editor.

The book is good. It has checkpoints, chapter summaries, and practice tests. However when I took the test 2 weeks ago I felt like even though I read the book through and through twice, there was information missing. In total I was unsure of about 30 questions in the test. Thankfully I passed, but I think the book needs to add more content to it to match that on the test. I would use it more as a companion to other study guides and books, that just rely solely on it.

The simplest patterns are fine and fairly well demonstrated. The medium and more advanced ones however are not step by step. Many steps are missing and you go from a picture of one step to the next picture being in a completely different position and orientation of the paper. You are left wondering "how did we get from there to here..?" You just have to kind of guess and figure it out. Some of patterns I can't figure out, and my children lost interest in it long ago. I am now giving up on this book and will be looking for a book with more detailed step by step instructions.

Just started using my Dot and wanted a quick start guide. This filled the bill but there are numerous misspelled words and grammatical errors that can get in the way. A quick pass by a grammar checker would clear most of them up. Still, I use it as a good reference.

I skipped out on a lot of parts that were uninteresting. Had hoped that there was a lot to learn in the later parts, but they were just repetitions of the process that was described.

I had also hoped to get better, more generic information about learning to code, but it got too specific.

Nevertheless, it was a good read, and I need to remember the process to learn a new skill.

Although the book covers a lot it still is missing a lot of toys. Maybe a second edition would fill in the gaps.

Bought these to help me with my Medical Terminology class and there were ALOT of combing forms that were not included.  You would think with all these cards you'd have them all.  Would not suggest these at all.

I wish there were more completely blank pages. Almost all the pages have cute themes and wording.. It will work...I was just really looking for a blank smash book.

There were too many things left unfinished in this book for me to actually like it. I also found myself being confused on the characters, and constantly had to go back to the family tree to see who the character was. The family tree that was provided in the front of the book was helpful. I would've liked to have had the book more "wrapped up".

This was not a bad book to use as a review for the test... But it leaves things out that are on the test (matrices, for example). Also, it needs some editing, there are numerous mistakes.

I had to purchase this book for a class I am taking this semester.  The language is very dry, although the text is large enough so that the speed of reading through a page counteracts the fact that the text is rather lifeless.  There are many sentences that I have to read over a few times because they do not sound right, only to discover that there are essential words like "to" missing between other important words.  With that said, I give it a C, as it provides the necessary information, but also a headache as well.
