Title: utterly pretentious
Review: Brevity is the essence of wit. How true. Metzinger's book shows just how true this adage is."This book was written for readers" Metzinger imperiously informs us at the outset. He should have qualified this phrase by referring to "readers of drivel," and not otherwise intelligent and observant people.This book is ineffably BORING. Don't look for the clarity of Doidge or Gladwell here, boy. You ain't gonna find it. And to add insult to injury, Metzinger trots out non-existent words like "processuality" (p. 23) and phrases like "not approaching syntacticity" (p. 32). OMG. You've got to be kidding me! If God changed his mind and decided to flood the earth once more, I'd go find this book, cuz it would still be dry.And I'd like to know how I can get my money back for my 700 pages of nonsense. I tell ya: if the price of horse manure ever goes up, this book will be worth a fortune.
Is the review positive or negative?
