Hi, Lil, welcome. I'm wondering if this review is just a wee bit harsh. I mean, I call poor Mr. Ellis a bully and a liar, and that's probably undeserved. I may edit this to tone it down a bit, and include a bit more of what I actually liked about the book, because there were things that I liked. But the complaint about citations is staying in. Drove me nuts through the whole book. Hey, you found me! Hi, Lil, welcome. I’m wondering if this review is just a wee bit harsh.

Because of course every scholarly author writing on important subjects is unbiased and would never quote his sources out-of-context. *rolls eyes* That drives me crazy, too.
