Title: Tragically self-indulgent writing style
Product review: This books is chock full of fascinating ideas. So chock full, that at times it loses direction. The author is so in love with the ideas, he has a little trouble following one coherently at times. This tendency is exacerbated by the authors injudicious use of parenthetical phrases (where he suddenly goes in a new direction). The book is larded, weighted down, and crippled by these parenthetical phrases - after a while I just wanted to scream for him to get an editor. GET AN EDITOR! But of course, this book was written quite a while ago. Of course some of the parenthetical phrases are fine. Many others reflect the authors inability to commit to a direction, his incapability to abandon any direction related to his main point. This is catastrophically frustrating because the ideas are so fascinating. Alas, he has trouble making his point clearly. Tragic.
