Title: Need to have a certain 'righteous indignation' to read it.
Review: I have read _Dancing Alone_ several years back as a catechumen in the Carpatho-Rusyn diocese. It was a stumbling block for me, as I did not feel any hostility towards my background (Methodist), but rather was simply looking for the Truth (and I went searching in all sorts of religions - Buddhism especially was quite attractive, but still lacked 'something'). Perhaps those with a righteous indignation - windmills to attack, or legitimate issues - and there is a place for righteous indignation (or zealotry), and it can be a good thing. It is not my temperment however, so if you start reading this book and find it a stumbling block, then by all means, put it down and read another text on Orthodoxy. But for many, this book has been a help in their journey, and these are my mere opinions, from somebody who really doesn't know much of anything, so take that into account.
Is the review positive or negative?
