Title: Painfully Boring
Product review: There aren't enough words in the Oxford English Dictionary to describe my loathing for this book. It is constantly being recommended to me, because I apparently fit the stereotype of someone who would like it(I have an English degree, I enjoy reading, and I am a bit of a language maven). As someone who loves books, I am usually offended when others complain that a book is "boring." Having said that, my main criticism with The Professor and the Madman is that it is painfully and shockingly ... boring. The only reason I was able to finish this book is that I was trapped in a cabin during a snowstorm. My options were to either read this book or stare out into a blank white landscape.I should have stared into the landscape. A more accurate title would have been: The Professor and the Madman: A Tale of Letters Being Exchanged, Bureaucracy, and Conversations About Minutiae.
