Negative Positive
Title: A book in need of a map.
Review: On the one hand, McKechnie's prose is often clear and engaging, sprinkled with a sense of humour. There are bits and pieces of valuable insights in the text. On the other hand, it seems evident from the introduction on that the book lacks a clear direction or purpose. Despite some useful comments, it is hard to know what to make out the total picture. I was never clear where McKechine had left, or where he was heading. The book has value, but I came away unsatisfied.
