This book had some good points, some things that made me say "Really? Wow!" but the majority of the book was fairly dull. I'm not much of a non-fiction to begin with, so I only read this book because my book club chose it. I heard a deejay on the radio talking about this book over a year before I read and, from his description, it sounded interesting. Turned out that he was only talking about the first couple of chapters which were, in my opinion, pretty much the only good part of the book.
