My bf read this back-in-the-day, & did highly recommend to me. He's very well-read. He didn't recall all what he liked about it, but we both avoid garbage books/media, so I trust his judgement that it has meaningful content.
I must say, reading the shill reviews posted here made an impression, even surprising, that certain interested parties see value in promoting an effort to slander and discredit this work. $hills gonna shill I guess.
NOW I DEF WILL GET THIS BOOK.
I'll follow up with my own input on how useful it is to read.
[BTW - GoodReads (3.8) rating seems to reflect a more democratic appraisal of it. So that's funny for comparison. Nice try haters, but ethical people aren't trying to burn down your town or whatever hyperbole you've accepted, for whatever reason.]
