Cons

The author has a lot of issues with other people. It bleeds through the text in every paragraph. And what is the point? It stank of a spurned lover. On page six the author makes disparaging remarks about bureaucrats.

Most of the 500+ pages is the author wasting time on useless data proofs and babbling. That is about it that was semi novel and respectable. The book suffers from poor writing and a real lack of coherent editing.
