Title: macho-fest-waste-of-time
Product review: Williams' story is reeling with machismo chest-pounding self-absorbtion and tainted by the fact that his account is totally different than all the other survivors' accounts. How do we take any of this seriously? A man who has lied over and over and now tries to say that his account is credible? Volcanology is so macho a science that it makes the players (the men, naturally) cheat on their wives? This is an embarrassment to good science and to good scientists. The book is well written in the beginning and then falls completely flat. The co-writer's disinterest in telling this bloated story is evident. Poor choice for educated readers with critical thinking ability. Women will especially find this book offensive.
