Title: A Publishing Travesty
Review: How can such a brilliant mind transform a book into such an empty experience? Because as another reviewer rightly points out, clearly the author is locked into his own mental closet with a leash and dog dish. The logging roads must have been jammed like the Ventura Freeway as lumberjacks hastened to clear-cut old sequoia growth - one tree per book. The essence of the reading experience is to make it easy on the reader, but yet we have spaced phrases such as "routinely manage to retrieve" on page 627 because the author refuses to resort to <the horror> hyphenation. Don't worry, just two paragraphs later, he mentions Mathematica six times "And the success of Mathematica provides considerable evidence for the power..." Next time, hire a freakin' typesetter and editor because this is a new kind of book - an inexhaustible resource when you run out of Charmin.
Is the review positive or negative?
