Reviews

[David Ellery · Rating 3 out of 5]

There's no doubting Lethbridge's enthusiasm for his subjects; in fact, he's if anything too enthusiastic. Much of this book is a relentless torrent of ideas it's a real struggle to keep pace with, and I found myself wishing he'd just slow down and catch his breath once in a while. There's interesting and maybe even valuable stuff in here, it's just hard to see in the flood.

An "interesting" book. I'm not entirely convinced by Lethbridge's arguments, especially given his wilder and wilder later publications, but highly entertaining and stimulating nevertheless.
