A shame.

I was hoping the people bashing this book would back their statements up.

Here's a passage (one of many) that made me cringe. He's just moved "over the rail" to a 15/30 game:

First hand. I shuffle then look: 10-7. One middle position calls. I raise my position. He calls. The dealer flops 4-3-Q with two spades. The guy checks. I bet. He folds. Nice start. I jot a mental note that the guy plays rather weakly. He should have bet into me on principle, especially to test the new player. I would have folded, although a reraise would have been an aggressive alternative

I've highlighted the moronic parts in case you couldn't find them on your own.

This book reads like the generic drivel of a misguided 1/2 player's myspace blog. The author's heart's in the right place, but none of the hands are even very interesting and the analysis of play and poker concepts ranges from painfully bad to average-at-best.
