Title: a curious book
Review: I picked this up at the airport and read it quickly. Lightweight read, nothing deep. Generally poor writing, on what could have been an interesting and insightful series of events. The author repeats himself a few times and I got the impression the 'book' is a combination of a series of essays, often on the same topics/people/events. The author is in desperate need of a good editor and guidence. A fascinating theme but the result is disappointing. Nothing outstanding and full of the usual American fixations. Lacks historical depth and feels very one-dimensional. Still, it passed the time on the flight, which is all that one can ask of this genre.
