Maybe I don't understand John Haskell. This book went through a lot of acclaim and spent time on Bestseller's lists....Now I just can't leave a blank review, but this book just had me scratching my head. It was non stop stories of different people bouncing back and forth and round and round....I just didn't know how to follow it or what the point was....

I can't do more than 1 star for this one - I finished it, but grudgingly and I can't wait to trade it again - Guess you have to be a John Haskell fan to appreciate it....Hope you do, and feel free to get it from me :)
