Excellent Work!

This is just another glimpst at the leaps of thought made by this brilliant thinker, far too often neglected by his friend and often co-author Gilles Deleuze. As usual with Guattari, this is a very challenging read. I do not think he was the best of writers. It does not flow very well and at points you'd wish he gave an extensive glossary or something along those lines, but overall, for sheer theoretical value this book is invaluable for anyone interested in the philosophy of Deleuze & Guattari.
