The only good thing about this book was that I could look at the references and check them out. Some of them actually turned out to be pretty good. But after reading them I found out that probably Elkin herself hasn't read them or at best she has just skimmed through them for she has used qoutations to prove a point that the original author had written to state the exact opposite! I give up. I'm dropping this.

Aside from what the author wants to say, in which I believe she is not very successful, I hated her writing so much it feels like I am re-reading something I've written years ago and I'm embarrassed.
