Title: pompous bombastic blather
Review: I too was excited to read this book after I read several reviews and heard about it again on NPR. However, the book is unreadable. It is inartful, pompous, bombastic, and condescending in tone. There is little or no logical structure in the strictest sense. Chapters seem to be organized around a principle of free association with in the general subject. The reader is burdened with inapposite references, name dropping and a host of howl provoking rudimentary errors of style. The true purpose is not to inform the reader about anything, but to convince the unfortunate of the erudition of the author. In that sense the title is apt: this book is the nothing that is.
Is the review positive or negative?
