We found a lot of good reviews for this book, plus, as there is a relative dearth of good poker education on sNg's this has to be a must read poker book for all Sit and Go poker players.

Good review comments -

* Shows you a very tight aggressive style of play, though he recognizes, that alternative playing models can be effective, if the players are skilled at post flop play
* A thorough analysis of table conditions, specific player styles, stack and blind sizes, payouts, chip values, and ways in which they influence ideal approach is presented.
* Might be as valuable for the SNG player as Harringtons No Limit Series is to MTT players.
* Reading it I comprehended the concept of equity (even the expression in general) a lot better than before.
* I finished it in two days and promptly put $250 into my PokerStars account.

Disadvantages -
