Actually, he writes: "The book is a solid foundation for anyone serious
about Javascript."

Like I said, he was being (too) nice about it. Read further and it
becomes clear that it is not a solid foundation at all. The review is
a bit of a contradiction in that regard.

The reviewer gives it a mark of 7/10. You seem to be giving it a mark
of 0/10.

The reviewer sees good parts and not so good parts. It seems that you
see only not so good parts.

However, neither of us have read the book.

I think the score does match the review.

As you have not read the book, I will not give much weight to your
opinions on it.
