in this book, david edwards says of his fiction work that he "writes mostly for [him:]self." well, it shows in his nonfiction. there are interesting ideas here, but they're conveyed in sentences that i often had to reread several times because of odd grammatical constructions. his personal vocabulary is also so overused that i found myself drifting off mid-thought. i think i could have loved this book. i think i would love talking to david edwards. i think if i were the copyeditor (who must have been told to go 'super light') i might throw this book across a room. i believe that david edwards is a smart guy with great ideas - but this book does not showcase any of that.
