Great info, written in an easily understood manner. Despite the warning at the beginning of the book that this wasn't conventional biography, I wasn't prepared for the teeny-bopper gushing about Babitz from the author. I wanted to know why Babitz was the way she was- self destructive and promiscuous, who couldn't form close relationships. The author tries to make Babitz's life seem glamorous, but it's actually sad. The author apparently developed a co-dependent relationship with her "subject"- buying her $100 worth of e-cigarettes and expensive boxes of chocolates that Babitz wanted. There were no boundaries in their relationship. I didn't get why the author was so excited about the sad Babitz, who ends up being a hoarder and a slob, and who apparently isn't interested in being self-aware or understanding her self destructive impulses. I suspect there were some darker things in Babitz's childhood that the author didn't want to see. Very disappointing and often silly. I knew enough to watch the game but not to always follow the plays. This was just a fun purchase to answer those odd questions. Fantastic book every parent should have in their house! These days most parents just rush to doctors for just about evrything and doctors have tirned into pill poppers. Remember folks our body has an amazing immune system! And for those folks that are aware and awake to the vaccine propaganda and the uselessness of it this is a great book that helps with dealing with what ised to be totally notmally occuring immune building child diseases. wake up everybody and stop being gullible and believing your doc is a god. Overall I thought it was a pretty good sci-fi book. It tells a pretty good story and hits some familiar beats without being too derivative, which is tough when there's so much stuff out there. I agree with some of the other reviews in that the background starts slow but the pace (and page flipping) picks up once you get to the heart of the story. Perhaps some of the background timeline could have been interspersed as flashback chapters throughout to break it up a bit - that being said, if you made it through the opening book of GoT you should be easily able to get through a few chapters here. I liked the characters, especially some of the supporting ones though at times I felt like there was a bit too much of various mythos being thrown at me at once, with at times bordering on ex machina - but overall the connections are set up well and I'm sure will play out more in future books. I also found at times that the dialogue/interactions didn't quite translate well from what they might actually have done in "real life" versus words on the page but again that's a bit more observation on style versus taking away from the story. So it might not be as polished as one might be accustomed to if you only read major sci-fi writers but in the end the story is good enough for you to want to get to the end and see where it goes in future volumes.

I know personally Paul Gravett, the joint author - and indubitably the leading spirit - of this book

Seemed like around 90% of the story was a rehash of the previous book - if you haven't read the prev

The first ten papers inspired me to give 2 additional books as gifts.
