Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I hated this book more than any other book I've read in the past 3 years. I gave up after about 120 pages. This author is so incredibly self-indulgent and pompous. And the core message of the book - which is worth perhaps one single chapter - is one that I have known as an adult simply from observation of life. You can't anticipate every game-changing event. There are major things that will just happen, that you can't anticipate. Yeah, no doubt. Actually, the far-and-away most interesting parts of the book were the author's stories about Lebanon, which I found fascinating. I'd read a whole book about that, by this author. But that was about 10% of the book, and the rest of it was pompous junk.
