I made myself finish this book. It was tedious and horribly boring, all 800 pages. I would have much rather read a book about the footnotes because they were much more interesting. This book has about as much magic in it as a chopped onion does. Now I know why it took her ten years to write it; she kept getting bored and forgetting to write more. Why are all these pseudo authors recommending other books in almost all of these reviews? There is a special section for that and it's not in the review box. Yes this book is terrible but using the review area to plug for other books is disrespectful, and not helpful at all to people who are looking for a book review not an advertisement.
