AWS for Beginners: The Complete Beginner's Guide to Learn and Understand Amazon Web Services and Its Future in Modern World

This is a great example of how "You can't judge a book by its cover" - the cover is colorful and attractive. Unfortunately the content is terrible. I give it a two and not one star rating, because it does provide some useful information. Here's why:- It consists mostly of bullet points, which don't explain well the issue mentioned. As such, it is more of an outline than a real book itself.- The book is full of occasional ungrammatical constructs and non-sequiturs.- Less that half the book actually covers AWS. (See below.)- There are very few illustrations, particularly none in the section which purports to be a tutorial. This renders that section almost useless, given the incomplete description of the steps.- The book runs to 190 pages, but that is because of the large type face and the large line spacing. If it were laid out like most books, I imagine that it would clock in at significantly less than 100 pages.- The book is apparently self-published and printed on-demand by Amazon, given the logo and the date on the back page, which is identical to my order date. This would be strictly an aside, except for the fact that one of the pages pulled out of the book.But the first chapter contains a useful long and possibly complete list of AWS components, both the essential and obscure ones, though with mostly superficial descriptions.And who is the author Vick Middleton? There is no "about the author" section, and an internet search turns up nothing besides references back to the Amazon book.I'm a published author myself, and my suggestions for the author are to:1) Definitely keep the beautiful cover!2) Condense the chapters on AWS alternatives into a single chapter.3) Ditch the AWS Certification and Interview Questions chapters, or at least radically condense them.4) Fill out the bullet point items with explanatory text.3) Hire a good editor and reviewers.

Numerous typographical errors. Very distracting. It was as if the writer decided to publish rough notes. There's an overabundance of bullet points (almost every other page), so the ideas are not fleshed out.It's more like a walkthrough of how to configure AWS services, but there are not enough images.Could have been a great book, but it seems rushed.
