Got this book after History of Knowledge (which I really liked) and I can not say anything new that has not been said in comments before this one.
The book is overexplained and has that bit of a pretentious tone of a snob writer. I must say that over explanation is sometimes needed so that every reader can get writer's ideas and points. Especially in science books, or whenever author has something refreshing or interesting to say
But there is nothing interesting here.
The analysis goes very shallow and does not branch out into other themes that can be associated with reading.
If I did not know half the things that are written in this book I could not read it and understand it at all.
Or maybe the pretentious tone of the book reminded me of my own pretentious writing style.
Yikes.
Cheers anyways.
