I agree with the poor reviews and am surprised O'Reilly let this out without sufficient oversight. This was the most recent XSLT book I could find on O'Reilly Safari and was attempting to read it cover to cover but gave up after the second chapter.


There are a lot of digressions explaining concepts 'in detail' at the wrong place, thereby confusing the reader. Also concepts and language used is not consistent and sometimes cryptic.


I finally switched to 'XSLT' by Doug Tidwell and what a relief it was, even though the book is 2 years older and was released in 2001.
