Surprisingly coherent.

The review is written by John Allen Paulos who is a mathematician known for writing well for laypeople.

I’m slowly working through a couple of statistics textbooks. They’re about second-year level and they’re, ah, heavy going. If there was something rigorous but less painful I’d be onto it like a shot.
