It's a book review for a book that Cranky Frankie really loved. As book 
reviews go, I've read much worse. But I'm not sure that this is the 
right place for it... Frankie, do you have a blog? Perhaps you should 
consider getting one.

Actually, given that this list is aimed at beginners, and the question 
of "what's a good book to read" keeps coming up, on balance I'm inclined 
to say that such reviews are legitimate (so long as Frankie has no 
direct, or indirect, incentive to shill for the book he is reviewing).

But please don't over do it.

Heh, well different people find different approaches useful.
