This book was okay. The information was interesting and the writing flowed fairly well, but the author definitely needed to do a lot more editing. I also found the author's constant interjection of opinions to be irritating. Even if I agree with the author, I just want the facts and should be able to make up my own mind. Also, the insane number of footnotes that only stated "this was covered or will be covered in another chapter in more detail" were completely uneccessary. Just let me read the book and the information should unfold.
