The Nix

For the first half of this book I was getting ready to proclaim it as book of the year material. It's funny, and sharply written, with some brilliant sentences and one liners. Unfortunately I felt the second half ran out of steam just a little bit. Perhaps pruning fifty or so pages would have helped. It's still an excellent book and comes highly recommended, but in the end it doesn't quite reach the superlative bracket it was so close to.
