| The review in Computer Physics Communications 103 (1997)

Of what?
Would it be of the second edition, that was published in 1992?
Or the first?

| 100-101 was not too flattering:
|
| "The majority of the chapters stop short of describing (and therefore
| providing algorithms and code for) state of the art algorithms."
|
| "In other cases the advise section appears to be badly out of date. The
| section on stiff ordinary differential equations does not mention any
| modern codes or techniques, indeed the majority of algorithms discussed
| and the recommended bibliography are almost entirely pre 1980."

That would be appropriate if the review was of the first edition.

In any case, the review is obsolete.  The third edition was published
in 2007.
