Not Bad, Not Great. Junk-Food Type of Reading — 2 years ago
Eh. It’s decent enough beach reading, though I read it at the gym. Nice short chapters, plot-over character-driven. Its greatest strength is that the book caters to readers’ presumptions of their own intelligence, while managing to provide supposedly “new” knowledge without exposing the readers’ ignorance. In sum, it’s really pretty much of a no-brainer, casual reading kind of book, and I’ll remember it more for its best-seller status than for the quality of its writing. (Interestingly, I think it might make a better film than book.)
