A mixed book - the mindfulness description (Ch 4) I thought was really good, as was the conclusion - a strong passionate case for why we all need to take more care of our thoughts. However, the books "jokes" are too frequent, and not funny. More often than not they are fat-phobic or racist.
Absolutely fantastic - impossible to put down. This book is packed with righteous anger and pulls no punches. The book was published in 1975 and ends with a meta-reference to the book within the book. The characters predict that their children will not understand what this book is talking about - but that's OK - that would mean they've won. Sadly, we are their children, and the book is all too relevant today.
