I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and not assume that you are just shilling the product (although your sig makes me suspect just that). In any case, I think it's incumbent upon me to point out that the purpose of reviewing a product is not to get folks to buy the book. It's to enable them to make a fully informed choice as to whether or not they would like the product. Revealing details is at least a significant part of the process. Dan Davenport (who posted above) is one of the best reviewers in the game; I'd suggest that you take a look at some of his reviews here as a model, assuming that you have a genuine desire to review this or any other product.

I don't mean to be unpleasant, but this review reads like an advertisement, with no substance, but much inducement to buy.
