Title: Complete waste of time
Review: I got this book years ago by the recommendation of friends. What a complete waste of time! It feels like Hofstadter is, over the course of 832 pages, mistaking pedagogical correctness (good) with masturbatory technical pedantry (bad). Just read a decent 160-page book on Godel's work (example:Gödel's Proof) and be done with it.
Is the review positive or negative?
