Title: Another journalist trying to write a coherent book.
Review: I'm sorry, but I am tired of these bestselling nonfiction books that read like a bunch of newspaper articles strung together. Junger has an interesting topic here. But it is marred by a lack of overall theme and by constant digressions into one piece of trivia or another. I found passages in the book to be very entertaining, very interesting, but the whole doesn't stick together. You finish, and you scratch your head. What's the message? How should I think about what I've just read. And you are just blank. Kind of like when you go to a "B" movie. You've been entertained but there's no aftertaste & no thoughtful contemplation of the topic.
