Title: muzzy reading
Product review: I found the book diffcult to follow because the author is writing down to his audience. He tantalizes us with broad generalizations but fails to provide the kind of back-up detail which will support his conclusions. His language in many instances is vague and the syntax unclear. I suspect the trouble is that he knows what he is talking about, but can't express his ideas clearly in layman's languague and he dare not get into the math of the subject because it is too complex. People who enjoyed the book mostly seemed to do so because he uses a variety of examples and techniques to provide amusing or human traits, but they simply do not add up to a clear exposition of his main theme. which, I think, is that when it comes to randomness few people can detect the signal from the noise. P. T. Barnum expressed it clearly and simply years ago. "There's a sucker born every minute."
