Query: Very thin scholarship

I was excited to get this book - I mean for [amt.]+ shipping and a long title it should have some solid writing, information and references.Boy, what a mistake!The subject is interesting, and Alomari does hit the high points of the topics. But, that's where it ends! The writing is very thin, and nonsubstantial. The pages (only 111 of them) have very large type and empty pages between the chapters.Truth is, I did not even finish the book! I got 2/3 's of the way through and found it was like reading a final history paper written by the student the night before it was due.I gave the book 2 stars only because the subject itself is facinating. And, the book could be helpful for someone trying to get an overview on the subject. On the plus side, it is very readable.But, it isn't worth the [amt.] plus shipping for that. You can get this info. off the web in a few hours. Save you money and check into some of the other books on the subject.
