[Ella Catherall · Rating 1 out of 5]

I really did not like this book. The only vaguely entertaining part of it was when I hurled it across the room after finishing it. Admittedly, this was all based on the fact that I agreed with almost nothing said in this book. It was written well and everything and it all made sense but it was impossible for me to enjoy it at all. It must be said though that because I wanted to disprove the author so much, I actually spent a lot of time thinking up new theories to prove him wrong.
