Customer Reviews

Brilliant and utterly compulsive reading

This is a brilliant and compulsive book, though in its dissection of our cultural malaise far more terrifying than any escapade by Hannibal Lecter. Read it if you care about the future of civilization.

"irritating"

Now I have to read this work. Could it possibly be more "irritating" than the January fifth review?! We shall see. All in all, it sounds like the perfect antitode to today's unconscious and helpless relativism.

Sanity vindicated

This is an elegantly written, totally absorbing antidote to much of the pretentious humbug that nowadays passes for profundity. I recommend it without reserve.
