Riveted

Some books are annoying because the author writes too much out of his own experience and doesn't draw on science. This book doesn't have that problem; Davies does the research. Oh my, yes, Davies has done the research. He quotes at least two studies on every page of this book. So that's not the problem.

I was annoyed by the loose organization at the book. I loved all the fascinating research Davies shares, but I was never very clear where he was going with his findings.

My take: this would have been a much stronger book, a more (bear with me) riveting book, if you will, had Davies spent more time editing it.
