I saw many reviews of this book that characterized the text as "dense" not "reader friendly'. I immediately mail ordered the book, feeling I could move past this so-called unfriendly zone, and learn a lot. Boy was I wrong.

Perhas it's unfair to put this in my "Read" bookshelf, since I merely skimmed it. Every quotation (the text is approx. 1/2 quotes) is in ancient greek. I cannot read in any other language, especially one that uses another alphabet. I still wonder why none of those reader reviews mentions this greek business. Perhaps they felt only a greek scholar would want to pick this up? I don't know.

To be perfectly fair, I'm sure the book is full of fabulous information. In fact I'm reading another of the author's titles, and it's excellent, informative and entertaining. But I refuse to learn a dead form of greek.
