PROBLEM: Possibly the worst book I have ever read . While I realize that the majority of people thought this to be a stellar book, it reminds me of the story, "The Emperor has no clothes". Yes, Choan can write a beautiful sentence and yes, the first several pages were intriguing but the switching of years was very annoying. The "flipping back and forth" was not accomplished in a smooth, flowing manner. In addition, the subject matter was incredibly depressing and the characters were so flawed that one did not even care about how their lives evolved. The kidnapping was predictable and the ending contrived. It would be impossible to recommend this book to anyone

SOLUTION: NEG

PROBLEM: Trite, Boring & Disingenuous . While I enjoy Greenberg's radio show, I was extremely disappointed in this book. Throughout the book, Greenberg relays the same banal stories he repeats ad nauseum on the radio. Unfortunately, unlike on the radio, when Mike Golic is always available to slap some sense into Greenberg, this book is purely 100% Greenberg. I am always amazed by those people who have lived extremely privileged lives, yet try to act like they have "struggled" in life. Greenberg has had to "struggle" thru a cushy upbringing, going to exclusive schools such as Northwestern and eventually landing his gig at ESPN. For those of you in the Chicago area, I hope that you caught Debra Pickett's article on Greenberg in the Chicago Sun-Times. While Greenberg professes to be a family man, the article notes how he spent 2-1/2 hours talking about his favorite topic, himself, while forgoing the opportunity to meet his wife and children at the pool. Keeping with his privileged existence, the pool was located at the East Bank Club in Chicago, yet another privileged club to which Greenberg belongs. I should receive a refund for slopping thru this "book." Hopefully, this review will prevent other people from making the mistake I did. ESPN should fire this wimpy "meterosexual" for writing this book.

SOLUTION: NEG

PROBLEM: Not worth the money . This book is only low to moderately useful to gamers that have been around for a while. If you are new to the game it may prove useful but the DMG has more than enough information as compared to this book. Cityscape provided better information and examples and led me to believe that this would be a quality product as well, I was wrong. If you are a collector or just have to have every book published by WoTC then I suggest you get it used and save a little money

SOLUTION:
NEG
