1. 3/5

   Väldigt basic...

   Om man är helt ny i hojvärlden kan boken säkert fungera som en bra översikt. Barger har en hel del personliga åsikter och kommentarer som åtminstone kan vara underhållande. Här avslöjas dock inga stora hemligheter och det kändes inte som att boken tillförde något nytt och speciellt. Mycket av det som behandlas i boken är väldigt basic, och jag tror att författaren vänder sig främst till nybörjare som inte ens börjat åka hoj. Barger är ju något av en legend. Hade det varit en annan författare hade jag nog lagt ifrån mig boken långt tidigare.
