Based on this review, would the user recommend this product? === Review: James Hynes must have had a tough time in grad school and as a English department lecturer. His books just keep getting more savage regarding the persecutors of the oppressed (i.e., tenured professors of English). If you've been fed on a diet of genteel novels of academia, the ending may shock you. Still, you have to love a guy who imagines a textbook publisher taking over a university and changing the motto from "Sapienta prima stultitia caruisse" to "If We Don't Teach iIt, You Don't Need to Know It."I kind of wish that Hynes will return to the territory he explored in the first story of Publish and Perish: the dual-academic marriage where one partner is more successful than the other, the geographical split due to the scarcity of jobs. Maybe for the next novel.For the moment, though, we can enjoy these 386 pages. They go by pretty fast. Answer:

Answer: Yes


Based on this review, would the user recommend this product? === Review: The basic idea of the book, some alt history scenarios as mind candy for people interested in it, is laudable. However its execution and therefore the book is ridiculous at best, if not outright damnable.Two of the scenarios, 1866 and 1916, are actually quite interesting and would have deserved better, grammatically correct English would have been a first step. Some are downright silly like Napoleon Bonaparte as third president of the US; others are absolute crap and read like the wet dream of an old Nazi.What hurts is the total disregard for facts. To give one example: Napoleon Bonaparte, born in 1769, could not have been a candidate for president in 1804. For that you have to be 40. And so on, and so on ...So my advice for prospective readers: go for a walk instead. Answer:

Answer: No
