Title: In need of an editor
Product review: I do not intend to disparage the scholarship of Mr. Fox because as everyone knows, he is an exceptionally talented and well versed scholar. However, this book reads like it is a first draft. He meanders through nearly 800 pages citing reference upon reference, but with little or no coherence. It reads like a stream of conscience novel, and his paragraphs shift focus and theme without alerting the reader. I found myself continuously lost and having to read again each page and the page before in order to find his thesis, if it existed at all. I recognize that certain subjects are complex and reward closer inspection, but there really is no need to write in such a way that you can scarcely be understood at first approach. I would gladly rate his book higher if he would thoroughly edit it, and then offer a second edition.
