Although I was enjoying this at first, it seems to have lost a bit of its attraction. The biggest problem for me is the reworking of lectures, which don't seem to translate too well over to printed form. You're right too - £20 for such a slim volume. That's a little on the steep side.

Much of what he says has been said many times before, and I am not all that keen on collections of essays and speeches which have already been published before. And the price! £20 for a slim volume - fortunately I had a review copy I found this remarkably disappointing.

I gave it a good review, but looking back on it, perhaps its not a GREAT read! I read and reviewed this one – good, worthy stuff of course, but much re-hashing of previous material.
