"Out of all Chuck's books I have read I think this may be my favorite. I read it a few years ago so I don't really have much to say about it.

"I read the book in one day. It reminded me of lot of Baer's Phineas Poe series except much shorter and to the point. For how short the book, graphic novel, whatever... was, the author did a great job. I wish it had been longer.

Hey Ruthann, yeah I agree, I also found his earlier examples interesting which is why it got any stars at all. But I felt his thesis really fell apart later in the book and his examples and his conclusions didn't fit together as neatly as he would like you to believe. And you're right, I ended up not taking anything from the book, except that sometimes your snap decision is accurate, and sometimes it is not. I mean I could flip a coin and get that conclusion.
Btw I finally got Geek Love! I'll be reading it soon. I'll let you know what I think.
