The Slav: Move by Move

Hi has anyone read the new pdf free extracts of this book on the everyman site?? I have and tbh i dont really like it that much. 

Does anyone else feel the same way?? Here are the basic reasons why i dont like it:
1. Is it really even 'Move by Move' like the format Daniel King pioneered? Doesn't look like it, which is what i was expecting. As in, there doesnt appear to be a scoring system.

2.How long was one game,,, 15 pages?? jeez thats very long! it makes me wonder how much information is actually in these 416 pages. Dont get me wrong, im not someone who thinks every book should be like Grandmaster Repertoire 22. 1.a3! or whatever, but that is a lot of explanation. Some (imo) unecessary since i thought it was an opening book not and opening-endgame one. 

3.Does anyone really like Lakdawala's little dot point summary's in random positions? i think their random and even worse, random. 

Ok maybe im being too harsh. His explanations are good and all (i wanted tests! like DK Move by Move), but this has soured my hopes for what i thought could be an extremely good idea for a book. I want a point system and dont want the games to last a novel a piece!
