I'm not going to get in a rant here about how much of his personal philosophy he has jammed into this book, since there are many other reviews here that have already done that. To be short and sweet: The series started out AWESOME, I devoured the first half of the series, not minding his occasional lectures on philosophy. Then, after half way through, the lectures started to get longer, and longer, and longer. Now, in the Naked Empire, you will literally come across many sections that have 15+ pages of his opinion on life. This book has bored me too much to go onto the others, which is a shame, the series was SO good...
