Negative Positive
Title: Mindless Tripe
Review: Not to be taken as a serious, scholarly work on its own. It reads more like a bad novel occasionally hemorrhaging facts--perversely analogous to one of Bathory's poor victims. Sadly, there is no clear dividing line between facts and breezy, flatulant fiction-writing. Unless you are experienced in reading poorly written continental-European prose, are some sort of PoMo cretin, or are some teenaged Goth/dork, the value to be culled from reading this book is little worth the effort.
