Serious ComplaintSerious ComplaintFrom: Rob Gray (Microsoft UK) Sent: 26 November 2004 10:53To: Peter BlackburnSubject: Serious Complaint about your book
Hi Peter
I have a massive complaint about your book. I usually use technical books as a cure for insomnia, and they usually prove to be quite effective.
Your book, however, has let me down…
I’ve been reading the foreword etc. over the last few weeks whenever I’ve had a chance, but last night I started reading the first “real” chapter. Now rather than the book being a cure for insomnia, I ended up only getting to sleep sometime after 01:30am (I’m usually asleep by 11). A Technical book isn’t MEANT to be interesting or amusing, and DEFINITELY not intriguing! What’s going on!!??
This is also the first time that I’ve laughed out loud while reading a technical book. In fact I’ve only laughed out loud once or twice in my life when reading ANY book, including ones that are meant to be funny.
PLEASE MAKE THE NEXT EDITION BORING SO THAT I CAN AT LEAST GET TO SLEEP AT NIGHT!!
On a serious note, congrats on a great and fun-to-read book. I’m sure you can expect some feedback from us as we work though it!
Definitely on my “recommended reading” list.
Cheers,
Rob
