The true sign of a good book is when the reader proclaims: “I didn’t want it to end.” My definition of a great book is when I say: “I need to keep it by my side in some small, inconspicuous place so I can secretly read it again.”
The book is chock full of interesting information, if only the reader could easily grasp it. The writing is competent but unnecessarily complex, convoluted, and confusing. There are great gems in this book, but it takes hard work, mining and excavation, to separate what is precious from the dreck.
