Yeah read it, I am now re-reading it. because I have a very short memory...
I agree it tends to be written in novel style in places (I quite liked those bits - nothing wrong with a bit of background on some of the folks involved) and there are plenty of statistics/numbers for the purists to get into. My main problem with the book was his habit of introducing a subject then jumping off at a tangent, exploring something else, only to return to the original subject later on in the book.
Left me a little confused at times....
Mindyou, thats not difficult ;)
The guy seems to know his stuff though, there is evidently an awful lot of research in there.
Just wish he'd written it in a more linear style...
