Enjoyable and comprehensive, but editorally it's less than perfect - found misspellings and sentences which terminated midstream. Although this may not effect one's perspective, there is the question - Did I miss something important here? Examples: "wotship" for "worship" and "Dying may not be a" isn't completed, which leaves one hanging... Other than the few editorial gliches (publishing flaws), the book is excellent.
