The following are the thoughts that hover in my mind while I was reading this book:
1. "This is too abstract. Seriously, Mr. Author, what are you talking about exactly?"
2. "Okay, Mr. Author, you have practically written 4 pages explaining certain concepts (i.e. holism), whereas you could have written it in, err, one clear and concise sentence -- it is greater than the sum of its parts."
3. "Wow, Mr. Author. You have again introduced another concept without even bothering to explain what the f*ck it is."
Overall, reading this too abstract book doesn't make sense. Lol. I didn't understand a thing. After Murakami, who I find too boring, and Kerouac, whose stories are badly written, I think I found the third author I detest the most -- Dunn. But in all fairness, his book moved me to frustration and anger and I hope universities would give a new, sensible reading material than this one.
