This was a low-water mark for Davenport. Too much speculation and anecdotes, and too little thought.

But it is well-written (as always with Davenport) and it gets you ideas and may make you consider different approaches, but it is not really any new stuff, that you haven't seen or studied before.

In short, I am dissapointed as I expected more from Davenport, but it is still a very good book.
