Query: Horrid

This is a terrible book that could be a good book. The IDEA for the book was solid, and some of the historical tidbits are interesting.It COULD have been an entertaining quest, but there is one enormous problem: the author is a pretentious, self-centered, pseudo-intellecutal child with a very high opinion of himself and the most irritating writing style known to man. Don't waste your time with this book unless you enjoy being patronized.Shame.
