Ugh. What can I say? The subject matter is potentially very interesting and is definitely relative to my work; however, the book is written as though it is a college text and the endless self-promoting references (parenthetical, not footnotes, at that) are distracting. I feel this topic could have been presented in a more interesting manner. I can force myself to plow through it, but it sure could stand to be more captivating and less dry.
