Negative Positive
Title: overly long
Review: This book had a lot of great and interesting bits of info. At points it was extremely engaging. But these interesting bits are drowned in scores of pages filled with minutia, painful detail of small events. and although these details are very important to the bigger picture, this big picture is hard to see among these details. At times these details coalesce nicely into a coherent thought. And at other times they seem to wander off and drain your attention. For me (and I do at times have a short attention span) there weren't enough big picture portions of the book, or portions that pull details together. I feel like a lot of those small details that comprise the book made me miss some of the details that matter. But overall, good and informative work of the topic.
