What book are u talking about? HPFAP or TOP? HPFAP is a limit book and TOP covers both NL and FL, but very little NL.
"doesn't understand how to translate the limit lessons to NL" LOL. FL is very different than NL. There are more similarities between NL Holdem and PL Omaha than between FLH and NLH.
 
Btw, I'm a medium stakes FL player (I play NL only occasionally). HPFAP has a lot of bad advices and stupid plays (you will be a loser in any limit if you follow their advices). Read Winning in Tough Holdem Games (the best limit book on the market) and then read HPFAP. You will see a HUGE difference.
 
In TOP I didn't see mistakes, but is terrible written. And TOP doesn't learn a player how to play. It's a theory book. It's good if you want to understand better pot odds, effective odds, implied odds, semi-bluffing, bluffing, heads-up play on last street, etc. But it doesn't teach you to play poker. It's useless for a NL or tournament player. And it's useless for a FL player, because there are better FL books available that cover poker strategy, not just useless theory (Winning in Tough Holdem Games or Limit Holdem:Winning Short-Handed Strategies).
 
Edit: I'm sure there are worse books than HPFAP or TOP, but they're not so overrated because they're not 2+2 books. Those 2 books have some very good reviews and that's the reason I mentioned them. I don't have problems with bad books that are not overrated.
