I was looking forward to reading this book. It's on a theme that I always warm to and so I really thought I would enjoy it. Basically, I completely agree with what the author says, but the way he said it really annoyed me.
For instance, he makes up a word. A very ugly awkward word, ‘awe wrongedness’ (AWN), and proceeds to use it a lot. He also has a tendency to use whole strings of descriptive words that make me feel I am being beaten into the ground by them. He never seems to consider that succinctness can mean more and carry more weight.
