Title: Ponderous Prose from a Sesquipedalian
Product review: I'll have to admit, I could not get past the first 16 pages. I'm a person with a rather large vocabulary, (I did crossword puzzles for years) and I found my self quite frequently running accross words I did not know. It reminded me of when a college professor told me my paper sounded like I had my head in a thesaurus (If you mean drunk, use drunk, not besotted!). Worse still, I found myself re-reading sentences frequently to decipher the meaning.I thought maybe it would change and the later writing would be clearer, so I randomly opened a few chapters, and the same obfuscating style is used throughout.After a while I just had a headache and put the book down. Peerhaps I'll try the Gulag Archpelago which another person reviewing this book recommended.Even War and Peace was easier reading.Authors, remember: Eschew Obfuscation, Espouse Elucidation!!
