Hi David,
I started to read it and dropped it after close to 100 pages as I thought it was a terrible read. I didn't like the author and the way he wrote and many times he wrote "I believe" to start a sentence, which tells me he's just giving his opinion and not a fact. |

| I own a copy and i haven't read it. Well that's not true I read parts of it. I only bought it because i was interested in the testimonies given about Ed by his peers. It was very interesting to see how far his influence stretched. |

I read it several years ago and thought it was very poorly written - almost amateurish. The quotes section in the back though was insightful. Not worth the $$$.
imho.
