Disorganization in a book does nothing for the author. If a reader can't understand what's being said then the author has wasted his time. Hopefully, Bernard can fix these issues because its sounds like he has a lot to offer. Thanks for your review.

The author's brilliant mind seem to be extraordinary with the way he brought ideas together to explain their meaning scientifically. Sorry about the grammar errors. Great review.

Post by Kibet Hillary »

This is an amazing read. It is true that a person's biggest enemy could be ignorance. The author did a good job explaining the little day to day issues. However, the 'good nights' are really misplaced. I ever read a book with such wordings and I never liked it. Hope it will be edited.

Umbilical code? That's kind of funny that he talks about his whole day with you. I can see why that would get old after a while. It is a journal. Thanks for the review!

While this book certainly seems enlightening, the author's writing style doesn't appeal to me. Thank you for your thorough review.

Thank you for your insightful review. While on the one hand you do make the book sound intriguing, I hear you that poor editing and a choppy story flow can be disconcerting to many readers. It sounds like this book could easily become a 4 with the — as you aptly name — the “smooth hands” of a good editor. Great review!

Great review! Although this book may share with the readers the author's brilliant thoughts on a myriad of subjects, I think it will be heavy read for me. I will pass it. Thanks for the review!

Brilliant minds often have trouble conveying their thoughts so the average person can grasp them. This personal journal sounds interesting but difficult to digest. I hope the author invests in the needed editing!

I agree with your review. This book certainly seems enlightening, but the flow seems very difficult to keep up with. Thank you for your thorough review.

This sounds like a difficult book to read on several levels, not just the disorganization. I think I'll have to give this one a pass. Thanks for the review!

I'm interested in gaining knowledge on issues regarding politics, science, and psychology, but I'm not sure I want to read a book littered with grammatical errors. Thank you for the review.

I think this book would give me a headache on the first 3 pages. When it comes to difficult subjects and complicated plots like this one, a writer should try to keep things as simple as possible.
