Query: A Bad Way To Learn Level Set Methods

If you're new to level set methods and are hoping to learn to implement them computationally, this is the WRONG book for you. This book reads like a 250 page review paper. Most of the material it covers is explained in much better detail in the references it provides.I'm not sure what audience this book is intended for. The only use I can see for this book is to help theorists learn level set methods. It certainly is of no help to those interested in implementing them. This book contains no code or psuedocode examples which would be helpful to a novice, nor does it contain any cutting edge techniques which would be useful to experts.I would give this a 1 star rating, but I must admit that it is clearly written. Also to its credit are the colored figures, which inspire one to want to use level set methods, even if this book is of no help in implementing them.
