Rskkiya,I believe that anyone in the public view,authors in this case,can expect both to be hailed and to be critisized,depending on the value of their work.Now,if anyone has been reading most,if not all,anywhere else already,than it adds little to the knowledge of that person and as that is one of the reasons,if not the only one,for purchasing such work,then it can be very disappointing to sort of re-read what you already know.
This thread is not about anyones fan-club,it's about a published work by two people that have added little to nothing that wasn't already to be read elsewhere.
And to Ortino,really,as I've been reading elsewhere in this same thread:"put your money in your mouth"!Why would you,or anyone,hoover over a possible future reply by the authors?What nonsens.I have to credit this to PW,she stated,early in this thread,in regard to how popular this book was at that time(april 2004) and she was clairvoyant in her words:"as soon as another one(book) comes along by someone else,I'm sure we'll be last weeks news".
