Pulling no punches .

... Apocalypse is Nigh - Indian Express. (Hat tip, Vikram Johri.)

This book’s content is pompous, and mostly wrong. Its style is by and large turgid with some passable chapters. The opportunity for a reviewer to be obnoxious and correct at the same time is rare: this is a bad book.
