+Prelimiary review of the JavaScript book "JavaScript Interview Questions"
+
+---
+
+A few weeks ago I pre-ordered a wonderful book,
+<a href="http://o2js.com/interview-questions/" target="_blank">JavaScript Interview Questions</a>,
+written by
+<a href="http://o2js.com/volkan" target="_blank">Volkan Özçelik</a>.
+So even though the book is not yet finished I thought I would take a moment
+to give a brief overview of what I have read so far.
+
+When I started reading the book it was a mere 20-30 pages long and most of the
+book was empty chapters and sections outlining the structure of the soon to be
+full copy. Now, just a few weeks further along, Volkan has begun filling in the
+others sections nicely and the book has reached over 150 pages and there is still
+much more work to do. This book will cover every topic surrounding a professional
+JavaScript interview, from how to handle technical JavaScript interview questions
+to even how to apply for a job and react to a job offer.
+
+This book provides an intimate and in-depth look into the heart of JavaScript and
+the parts that make the language unique from others. As if he felt years of
+professional and tried experience were not enough Volkan also offers various
+resources and links to related material throughout the book to help support points
+he makes, as well as to provide an alternative point of view to the topics he is
+covering. So far the references section of the book takes up 5 pages and includes
+over 100 unique links, and there are more to come.
+
+For those who feel that this book is just for those looking how to get a leg up in
+a JavaScript interview, please reconsider purchasing the book. It will help you
+learn the hidden secrets to make you a better JavaScript developer and an all
+around better interviewee.
