minus-squareunderline960@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up104arrow-down1·edit-27 个月前The first half of the book is great. The second half has ads that take up more and more of the page until you reach a page that is just ads and a QR code. When you scan the code, it takes you to a website asking you to pay a subscription for the remaining pages. (If you rate five stars, they send a 10% discount code to your email and add you to a newsletter list without an unsubscribe button.)
