Now tell me what you really think

If you were still trying to make up your mind to read the book Man Overboard (available free on the earliest blogs on this site) the following comments should decide you, one way or another. I admire the man's gift for caustic criticism, though "loquacious" was a bit rich.

Anyhow you decide.

Good afternoon Michael,

I forced myself to read forty pages and then scan the remaining thirty pages of your rambling dissertation Man Overboard. Your essay lacks structure and is repetitious, loquacious and uninspiring. Most of the content is unbridled nonsense interspersed with quotations and motherhood statements, many of which lend themselves to philosophical scrutiny.

You paint yourself as a very weak man lacking any real understanding of life and relationships. The picture you paint of your wife is that of a spoilt brat dangling you on the end of a piece of string. Perhaps both of you got what you deserve. It may help if you read some of the literature on transactional analysis that deals with adult, child and parent relationships.

I hope this has been helpful.
