whatdotheyknowaboutfriends's review against another edition

Decent. Informative, but the author spends a lot of time repeating and summarizing himself. And he falls into the trap of many popular science authors of over-metaphorizing (presumably for the benefit of better communicating scientific concepts to the reader) and produces some awkward analogies that really take you out of the book's flow. Interesting material though, and not unclear.

I'm torn about this book. It was an interesting topic, written about by someone with a talent for description and a deep knowledge about the subject, yet it was still somehow a slog to read and I cannot tell why.
