Query: tough to get through

This book (in my opinion) is for those more interested in XML alone than its use with ASP.NET. I was looking for a book that combined the two effectively, but found this one to be very difficult to read, with topics discussed without definitions (only references to chapters ahead of the current one), and little introduction to .NET or ASP.NET. There are very few examples, and even fewer pictures to display the effectiveness of the examples. Maybe I need to spend more time digesting the material, but there is little use of ASP.NET in this book... and even less integration of the two technologies. This is not for anyone interested in eCommerce or strictly internet programming.
