Strong Opinions is repetitive—sometimes justifiably, sometimes bewilderingly—and is filled with tracts of dubious worth to the median reader. Still, there are highlights. Near the end, a delightful essay on inspiration. Before that, one of the most amusing takedowns I've read. Comedic and insightful, it is worth reading. I do recommend approaching the book with a readiness to skim passages.
