- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book is so approachable, upbeat, excited, and informative! I can't imagine a better way to be introduced to most of the aspects of repairing consumer electronics. I enjoy it enough to have read it cover-to-cover multiple times and, without even intending to, pick up something new and useful each reading.
