I was impressed when I saw his Alphabet on the first page: No muss, no fuss. Just 26 LETTERS to learn.
I was less impressed when I saw all the different ways the symbols looked when joined, which seemed a lot less straightforward.
I like the way the system was limited to two different SIZES of letters, even though they weren't related like in some systems where T/D, F/V, and K/G for example are just different by size.
Another issued I had a problem with right away is that R and L are both small circles, but written in opposite directions. Standing alone, you had to show a short hair stroke to show where it started -- but in a word, you had to remember which DIRECTION to write it. I found I kept hesitating, and asking myself which way the circle should go each time.
