Title: Useful Tidbits Hidden in Self-Indulgent Slough
Review: This book is heavily overwritten and wrought with unnecessary language.It's like sloughing through a marsh of melted Valentine's Day candy with an undercurrent of bread dough--a whole lot of sticky fluff and very little of scholarly or intellectual interest. There are kernels of useful (sometimes insightful) information hidden in the muck, like the insides of those same melted candies, but the self-indulgent writing style isn't worth plowing through. It's a shame she felt the need to prove some kind of neo-Victorian chops.
