Negative Positive
Title: Thought-provoking at times...but verbose and general
Review: While the author makes some interesting points at times, overall the book is a slog to get through - the book seems to be written as the equivalent of a Master's thesis. Using too many fancy words and complex sentences (and not enough facts and figures) seriously waters down the arguments. In fact, I am not sure the author will convince someone not already pre-disposed to agree with her.All of this might be forgiven if the author offered more implemenation and tactical ideas. This is not a how-to book on the implementation of new philanthropic ideas. It is more of an opinion piece on why NPB is more effective.While it makes some valuable points on this front, overall the book suffers from its intended weight, and it is difficult to recommend as an investment of time.
Is the review positive or negative?
