I didn't get beyond the first sentence... I know that's maybe unfair, but it was so ridiculous that I sort of recoiled from the book in disbelief. I did try dipping into the later chapters, but despite the cover blurb about it being 'hugely readable' [Stephen Venables no less and Colin Wells too] I found the bits I tried to read just a bit turgid and inaccessible.
Then again, some people like that slightly worthy, academic-ish writing style and who am I to disagree. It's all personal taste.
