Reviews

[Judy Tarver · Rating 3 out of 5]

Although the author is apparently a talented writer and an intelligent man, the way he writes this particular book was not at all able to hold my interest or make me understand a lot of the things he was trying to explain. He says the best way to understand “everything” is to read and if you don’t know what a word means look it up in the dictionary and that is one of his best pieces of advice in understanding how the world works. Maybe I misinterpreted something, but I believe that is quite vague. I could read the entire dictionary and it wouldn’t make me understand everything in this world we live in.
