Title: Disappointing
Product review: The authors use shock and awe to make comparisons of unlikely circumstances. Initially I found the technique entertaining. By the end of the article, oops I mean book, the technique wears thin. So thin in fact that in examining the name game the whole thing just sort of peters out. They don't have a clue as to what's behind a parents name choice for their child (that is, an ethnic parent). They try to draw some correlation between the name and future expectations, but of course cannot because they don't know enough about the subject. They are caught up in their own little world looking to unrelated data to find an answer rather than going out and doing the hard investigative grunt work needed to explore the subject. As suggested by other reviewers, read the times article or check out your local library. Better yet, if you must, go to a good bookstore, grab a comfy chair and a cup of coffee...
