Y'know, when I wrote the draft of this review, I had a whole rant evaluation of the attitude and hypocrisy this guy exposes towards the end of the book, but nobody will read it or care. So I'll keep it short and sweet.
This book gave a lot of really interesting information. He might have even swayed me-- his hypothesis makes a lot of sense and he provides [apparently] good data.
Lost a star for organization (which could have been optomized in my opinion) and his weird complex that he could have just.... ended the book a chapter and a half earlier but decided to write and publish anyway.
