Exactly. I appreciated all the research that must have gone into this book--really do. Despite all the embellishments, it's obvious that he did research his topic. The writing was, however, subpar. Totally agree. The way he kept repeating things, breaking up the syllables, beating you over the head with his subtleties, it was like reading a conversation transcript between Anne Sullivan and Helen Keller.
