Book reviews: Of controversial manuscripts? Posted in 2008
Many of the books that I have reviewed were written prior to 2008, before I discovered wordpress.com, and they might be categorized as controversial.
It is not my job to fall into that trap of judging what is fine to read. I simply reviews, summarizes, and add my comments of what I have read that express deep feeling and personal reflections.
I always give my “expert” opinions anyway: It is your right to express your opinion.
There are books that I had to publish several posts on particular chapters, simply because topics are interesting and need further development.
