Nice wording, but where were the women. Also seemed to rely on a lot of stereotypes?

A fun little story told well. Imparts some good lessons everyone needs to be reminded of from time to time, sometimes in a cheesy way. Don't let the disappointed pseudointellectuals who thought the secret of the universe was gonna be in this 171 page book discourage you from enjoying a quick entertaining romp across the desert.

I know so many have raved about this book, and I’m not sure if my expectations were simply too high, but I did not enjoy it. I kept waiting to feel moved, but I didn’t feel much of anything at all.
