baggman's review against another edition
2.0
I gave this book 2 stars rather than 1 because, mercifully, it was extremely short. I assume this book is a metaphor intended to take us on some intellectual, or spiritual journey: the recurring swarms of flies; a monastery in the middle of nowhere; The Four Bike Riders of the Apocalypse? Whatever it was, it sailed completely over my head, leaving me to wonder what it was that I had just read. Frankly, this book made as much sense to me as Neil deGrasse Tyson detailing the existence of dark matter, or trying to understand why you would want to make the voting process more difficult.
I really hate to slam an author, any author. They are, as a group, talented and creative individuals that add to our culture. A review is simply an opinion that may, or may not be shared by others. I did not like this particular offering. I would not rush out to find another book by this author. This book was not particularly funny, or clever. It was not a thriller, a mystery, or a horror story. I have no idea how this book would be classified, other than a gross misrepresentation of the publisher's summary.
