Couldn't finish it. An interesting topic obscured by an author much more concerned with telling you about himself than about the topic, combined with overwrought prose reeking of thesaurus abuse. When he characterized his newborn son as "meconium-besmirched," that was it for me.

Honestly, I think I just threw up a little when I heard the words "meconium-besmirched"!! What type of twat uses language like that? I'm already struggling with this book; your observation of this crime against language makes me want to throw it out the nearest window!
