HOLY MOTHER OF DICTIONARY THIS TEXTBOOK IS VERBOSE.
A single chapter was over 100 pages of tiny text with no space between paragraphs. Yes, there were some large diagrams, but 90% WALL OF TEXT.
And the author has that really pretentious thing going on where he tries to write as though he's a sociable buddy teaching you things (hint: he isn't, nor is his book).
It took me an hour and a half to mostly skim and skip over the four chapters I had to read... (It was mostly consisting of "stuff you aren't expected to know in this course because it's too advanced" and "stuff that you've already known for years from your high school courses" so this doesn't matter much, hopefully...)
There's one more thing ticked off my list of... Approximately 10 things to do in my "free" time within the next 2-5 days depending on which thing I'm referring to...
Hopefully not all of them are this stupidly brain-numbing to do... Or as long.
