Zero attention span
Reader comment on: War Games
|
Submitted by Paul Perry, Mar 13, 2008 01:07
This kind of 'book' - a mere sensationalist assemblage of disconnected oddments - can only appeal to those with no attention span. To those whose highest praise is "gee whiz".
Unfortunately, googling - or riffling through the newspapers - is no road to wisdom. That this book was published is unfortunate; that the LA Times could review it favourably is a tragedy.
