Title: interesting, but boring
Product review: Professor and the Madman caught my eye because of it's catchy title and interesting subject matter. However, when I finished reading it I was quite dissapointed. It read much like the history books that I was forced to read during high school, and I feel that the story should've been told in a historial fiction sense rather than a boring, dry history book sense. The information was there, just not presented in an enjoyable way. All in all, I'm glad that I now know what it takes compile a dictionary and that our english dictionary was mostly written by an insane criminal, but I don't feel enlightened after reading this. It was a chore just to finish it.
