Poker book review

As I have mentioned before I am learning how to play texas hold'em poker and that I started to read the poker book Internet texas hold'em new expanded edition.
I finished reading the book probably a few weeks after I got the book.
I actually received a digital copy of the book for free in return for writing a review of the book here.
I already purchased the hard copy book about the odds and probabilities by the same author of the book I mentioned above but I think I may apply to offer to do the review in exchange for the digital copy because it was so much easier to take notes on my computer by just copying and pasting the words from the book into a word document. 
My first real experience with poker was at the pokerstars.com website and I actually found out about the books that I mentioned above through pokerstars.
Pokerstars.com does have a free poker school that you can learn from and the limit texas hold'em is apparently based on the book I mentioned above but I think the poker stars guys botched the whole poker school thing because they used different sources for their material and they just kind of stuck it together and hoped that it would work as far as the limit texas hold'em goes. 
They have no limit poker school leasons that may be excellent but I don't know because I didn't go that far with them. 
The Internet texas hold'em is not a complete beginners guide so its not the first poker studies I would recommend. 
I would actually recommend that you download the pokerstars.com program and play poker on there for awhile. 
Just make sure that you play the limit texas hold'em games...it's free.
After you've kind of gotten your feet wet with limit texas hold'em then I would recommend that you get the Internet texas hold'em new expanded edition book.
I would strongly recommend this book, it has improved my game a great deal.
