How absurd that there are no reviews!
What a wonderful, insightful, thought provoking read.
Time has not wearied it at all. The analysis is deep and ironic in its wordiness, but stands the test of time (pun intended).
One cannot help but wonder what the author thinks of the current state of the great game.
