Title: No Temperamental Enlightenment Here
Review: This book is a big disappointment. The look and feel of the volume promised much but the content is a complete let down. There is so much irrelevant material here that I gave up reading the book eventually. The author tries to explain a subject which is reasonably complex and which does require a little mathematical know how (not much) and musical (some) knowledge, without using any technical terms whatsoever: in my opinion it is as difficult to do this (if not impossible) as it is explain the word "rainbow" without using the word "colour'. But it is the inclusion of so much padding which makes the book so very hard to read. There is no doubting the author's commitment to his topic but the book fails if its purpose is to enlighten.
Is the review positive or negative?
