Negative Positive
Title: Orality and Illiteracy
Review: Read this book only if you are forced to do so by someone. Even that didn't do it for me. One of my main hang ups was that in early going Ong describes something as "thing-like". Is it possible for something to not be "thing-like"? I mean if it wasn't someTHING, then it wouldn't be anything and you couldn't talk about it. Then the rest of the thing is just boring. If you want an expensive fire starter or something to stop the teetering of some annoying table then buy this.
Is the review positive or negative?
