- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I expected the whole book but got the cliff notes instead. Seems deceptive. Poor user experience.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Fascinating. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is that I was fooled (like other reviewers here) into thinking that this was the entire book. Scribd's user experience in this case fell short - in that the way I learned about their concept of "Conversation Starter" was to try, and fail, to read the whole book. Not to mention that this was my FIRST experience with the Scribd service. Not a great introduction.
Scribd - If you are listening, please improve this, thanks.5 people found this helpful
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I thought it will be the whole book. It is a condensed synopsis (oxymoronic expression, but fits the bill). Followed by page after page of questions... ??? as if this was a quiz book of sorts. I don't get this. Nope!
