The book itself is an insightful look not only at Mitchell's collective works, but where they fall and how they are representative of multiple forms of psychology, sociology, lore, and history. The singular drawback was what seemed to be the author's attempt to impress the reader with the sheer size of his lexicon. (He does however, ease up as the book goes on) Overall, if you're a fan of Mitchell this one is worth a read.

LitLogophile Thanks for this! I‘m a huge fan of Mitchell and will def be picking this up 6y
