Query: The Emporer's New Clothes Meets Bombay . . .

I've rated this book poorly mostly out of irritation with ALL OF YOU who apparently wouldn't know a good book if you were beat over the head with it. Even without all the sheople bleating though, I'd still only give it two stars. Whatever charms this book displays are much better representaed in much better books.Want to know what you're getting in to? Read the *five* star reviews and look for phrases like "tedious", "long winded", "self aggrandizing", and "stuffy prose". With these shortcomings mentioned so heavily in the good reviews, how do you think it's going to turn out?That's your first big clue.Think for yourself and consider: If you have to work so hard to plow through an author's drivel to see value, maybe the value is outweighed. Maybe it's not there at all.
