Title: Earlobes and sweat? Say it isn't so Dean. Say it isn't so.
Review: While the by-line is admirably short, the text actually comes off quite linguistically, given all the maladroit proclivities that might have prevented a lesser author from treading so smoothly on wings of bread and slurry. William, whose middle name - as we are to believe - is Dean, ends his saga with the name Howells. Some may enjoy this chicanery, but I, for one, was enormously displeased. For instance, why all that talk about trade agreements in the preface yet no listing for either "trade" or "agreement" in the index? And, I must ask, why was there no index at all? One is left to wonder what other key concepts and biographical references were left un-indexed. Is there any value in such a text? The answer, quite simply, is also not available in the index. Why? I became very angry by the end. All indexed. Why? The answer, quite simply, is given five sentences before this one. (The reader is advised to refer to it. (ed.))
Is the review positive or negative?
