Avoid it

By S. Duncan - January 13, 2013

One of the most frustrating pieces of garbage I have ever read. Any brilliant insights the man might have are lost in a wave of trying to create overly complicated sentences. Whether suffering from a weak editor or a over-inflated sense of trying to force "Look how Academic I am!" on people, Castells points are lost. Even when you understand his points, it's rare to read a sentence in the book and think "This was written in the way that would make it most accessible and clear."

Avoid it, if you can.
