Unnecessarily Repetitive

50 percent too long. The repetitive nature of the format was boring and generally unrelated to the actual play of the game... too much "telling" not enough "showing" through exciting, instructive descriptions and story telling. I would not recommend this book to anyone....

I am an intermediate player and was hoping to be able to listen and visualize hands as the author spoke about the actual strategies of declarer play, typical opening lead choices, what are characteristics of good no trump hands, point ranges for making "game" and the importance of distribution, common conventions, 2/1 bidding ( given that bidding system's popularity), etc., etc., etc.....
