Title: This book is a fraud and poorly written at that!
Product review: Maybe it was me, but I bought this book thinking that it truly offered insight into an ancient philosophy. You can imagine my displeasure when I got home and read the fine print under the title "an adventure". Oh well, I thought, my goof. But it'll probably be good anyway. Boy, was I wrong.The book is written in the style usually adopted by would-be authors who have spent too much time in front of the TV: it was very heavy on meaningless physical description but virtually silent in the type of narative that truly places one in the story. But, let me just cut to the chase.I'm a lawyer by training. This means I have endured reading obtuse, boring, and dense statutes and cases. Folks, I can get through anything. I have finished books that I really didn't like just out of principle. This is probably the only book in recent memory that I could not finish. I couldn't get through a page without feeling that my intelligence was being insulted. 'Nuff said.
