I bought this book recently.  I didn't get a third of the way thru it
before I set it down in disgust.  (Set it down because I have yet to
throw a book at the wall in disgust.)  Unfortunately, I don't recall
what mangled facts there were that made me so disgusted, and now it's
packed in a box and I don't want to dig it out.  Any opinions with
more facts than I have?
