Title: Good intent but poor organizaion makes for a painful read
Review: The title and first chapter of the book are novel enough and caught my attention. But the remainder of the book is poorly written. The sentences and paragraphs are disjointed and the ideas seem randomly thrown together; these make for a less than enjoyable read. In addition, the author does a poor job of tying togethr his points into a more coherent argument so sometimes the little personal stories and attempted points fall flat or don't make sense. Although I am an avid reader of non-fiction environmental texts, I could barely get through this one. As other negative reviews have suggested, the book contains a good deal of philisophical fluff. This type of writing has its place but certainly there are other books that do a much better job of arguing the points. I do not recommend this book. In fact, I'm returning the copy I purchased because it's not worth holding onto for future reference.
Is the review positive or negative?
