Negative Positive
Title: Wasted Time
Review: Garry Wills raises issues that need to be discussed. Granted, there are those who do not wish to discuss them. This book, however, will probably not open a conversation. I believe it was Thomas Aquinas who advised disputants to take the opponent's position, so that one's own position could be re-examined and thereby solidified--or recast. Wills does not present a scholarly examination of the issues. I began to flip through the pages. People don't like to be shouted at--even those who essentially agree with the criticisms raised. I was disappointed in the presentation. I had expected argument and found vituperation.
Is the review positive or negative?
