It looks like a great book!

What confuses me is, I see it has an "average" customer review of 5 stars.
Doesn't that mean ALL 25 reviews are 5 stars?

But somehow it does NOT mean that.

Are there no 1/2 stars, and/or does Amazon round upwards?

If I have a 4.0 GPA, doesn't that mean I have never received anything less than a 4.0?

Just wondering.
Hi TW,

If you scroll down the Amazon page to "Customer Reviews" - it gives a "break down" of the reviews...

Under "Customer Reviews" - it says "4.8 out of 5 stars"

Then you get the break down...

22 reviews give it 5 stars
2 reviews give it 4 stars
1 review gives it 1 star

Note that the words "5 star", "4 star", and "1 star" are clickable. Clicking on one of those words gives you just the 5 star, 4 star, or 1 star reviews.

I don't know anything about that particular book, so I have no idea if it is good or not...

Hope that helps!

Best wishes,

Dien
