Title: Forget the issues: it's poorly-written drivel.
Review: There's a lot of debate as to how realistic Amelio's opinions, expectations, and statements are, and I'm sure that many of the reviewers here have fine points. My issue, though, is that the computer community should be embarrassed by this book--not because of the content, but because we can accept this hack job (no pun intended) of a book. I don't think an editor even saw it from across the room: I've never seen a book published by a major house that was this poorly written. It's one trite comment after another. The Shakespeare analogy at the beginning is both pretentious and horrifying, and portends what is a truly terribly-written book. I found it almost unreadable.
Is the review positive or negative?
