Well, I saw the review, and it's somewhat disappointing and even unfair. He says the book is "neither well written nor well edited," which I frankly think is unfounded and unjustified criticism. He does compliment the comprehensiveness, but overall I don't think it's a very flattering review. I guess it's probably better to have it, though, since at least this way PC Gamer readers may learn about the book who wouldn't have otherwise.
I know that authors have to develop a thick skin for this sort of thing, but damn. I wish people could appreciate all the work that went into it and not mind so badly if I didn't necessarily agree with their personal favorite list.
