Negative Positive
Title: Misogynistic, racist, and incompetent
Review: As a writer, Monroe would make a good dish washer or garbage collector. Scanning the book, I cannot find any redeeming quality. The writing is poor; the magick is constrained, poorly thought out, and uninspiring. The "scholarship" is lacking: since when have potatoes and pumpkins ever "dotted the English countryside" in Arthurian times?! Potatoes and pumpkins (and corn) are NEW WORLD crops. The rampant racism could be excused if it were presented as only the author's opinion, but it is NOT excusable when it is presented as historical and scholarly.
Is the review positive or negative?
