Title: Curiously overrated
Product review: I was so disappointed in this book. Several industry reviewers ranked this in their top 5 books of all time, so naturally I thought it was a must read. Yet, I thought the book was extremely boring, and could have been condensed into about one-third of its size by eliminating all the surplus and uninteresting details he included. I contrast this effort with On The Beach, which is also often listed by these same industry reviewers in the top 5 scariest books, and which really does deliver. This book would have been much better as a semi-fictionalized effort than as a total non-fiction piece.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
