Ed H reviewed The Nothing that Is by Robert Kaplan
Review of 'The Nothing that Is' on 'Goodreads'
2 stars
I abandoned it two chapters shy of the end. I just couldn’t stand it anymore. Kaplan takes two chapters to say a paragraph worth of stuff and in the most florid, erudite way possible. Don’t write about hard stuff like math and make it harder with your style.
Ed H reviewed Deadeye Dick by Kurt Vonnegut

Review of 'Deadeye Dick' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
I think this must be the the first Kurt Vonnegut I have ever read, and I’m kicking myself that I’ve misspent almost 50 years. I loved this book. His writing is so pointed, sarcastic, and economical — the ideas slide into the grooves of my brain like a clean, well-oiled Springfield rifle. I don’t recall another writer whose words so closely aligned with how my brain functions.
I can’t wait to pick up another of his books.
