I just got it in yesterday, got through the first chapter so far. (What I think is the first chapter - there's no ToC.)

I have mixed expectations based on on interview he did on NLU's Trap Draw podcast.

I'm on about page 80 and not really enjoying it. I'm right in the middle of the PED stuff, and Bamberger's own opinions are clear, and I'm really getting annoyed by the jumping around he's doing. We're in 2009, then we're up to 2017, then 2013, then back to the 2010 Masters, etc. It's annoying, particularly for a book that purports to be about 2017 onward.

And the PED stuff is bullshit. It appears to be entirely based on the hearsay of Tony Bosch, with no corroboration of literally anything.

I’m on page 100 or so and MY GOD this is why books usually have chapters. I was extremely unsurprised when he mentioned that his editor also edited the Benedict and Keteyian book.

I finished the book, didn’t like it at all really. It jumps around so much. I learned nothing new. I’m decidedly not a Bamberger fan, apparently.

Double bogey.

Not a big fan of Bamberger.

I am going to start the book next month, but thanks for all the great feedback on the book!
