Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Folks, I would like to give my one-star rating some proper justification, but I'm battling a case of Covid-19-Lite right now and I just can't summon the energy. This mini-rant will have to do. If you've bought this book, you're probably already aware that our civilization is rapidly turning into a cultural cesspool, so you deserve something more substantial than this book to chew on. The book can’t be faulted for its depth of insight, because it HAS no insight. It's just a simple, loosely-connected catalog of our cultural shortcomings that seems gleaned from casual Internet searches, with no deep understanding whatsoever of how we got into this mess. Given the richness of the subject, and the efforts of the great sociological pioneers who preceded him, Ross should be a little ashamed for turning out this mayonnaise-and-white-bread college essay. In short, it appears that the shallowness of this book is yet another symptom of the decadence in our society. Our popular young writers can't even IDENTIFY the problem, much less subject it to tough analysis. Gratitude to Amazon for its generous return policy. Now if I could get Ross to pay me for the time that I squandered reading his book, I might call it even.
