Negative Positive
Title: Supercilious and glib
Review: I've enjoyed hearing PJ on NPR, but was sorely disappointed by his writings in this book. Certainly learning about the history of conflicts and cultures was interesting (hence 2 stars and not 1) but mostly I was aghast at how flip and superior he comes across.His Nobel chapter was stunningly facile and arrogant; sadly devoid of the constructive and witty commentary I was expecting when I bought the book.If you consider amusing or insightful the suggestion that the malnourished poor of the world "go get a job", you may nevertheless find this book worthwhile.
Is the review positive or negative?
