Title: A Natural History of the Bored Stiff Reader
Review: Although Ackerman's zest for the senses was more than obvious throughout the text, the book suffered from an insufferable amount of anecdotes (some of which had no connection at all whatsoever to the titles). Shame, that the reader had to wait to get all the way to the last chapter on Synesthesia to begin enjoying what started out as quite an exciting read. While I did enjoy the odd fact, I can't help but wonder who let her carry on adding the same tiresome biographical snippets which bogged the whole book down to the bottom of my trash bin.
Is the review positive or negative?
