    This is what Amazon has as a review:

    "Reviewer: A reader
    The EC-Council calls itself a professional organization, but the horrendous
    grammatical and punctuation errors contained in this book cast serious doubt
    upon that claim. I found myself wondering if English is the first language
    of the author(s). Even the printing is awful, as on every page words are
    interrupted by empty "spa ce." I can't even address the content--I got a
    headache just trying to get the sentences to make sense, and finally had to
    give up. If so little attention is given to the presentation of the facts,
    how much confidence can I have that the facts themselves are correct?"
