Ron Rosenbaum 'review'

This review isn't - it is just a quaint story about one man's struggle to see a small error in the book put right. He got his wish, but is it worth reprinting here? David Finn 08:11, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

I'm not adamant either way, but a criticism of the book has been there are many small errors. Rosenbaum is also an individual that has been substantially criticized himself, and, in my opinion, has a certain credibility when talking about accuracy.
This is a challenging book. I've found errors, but I also found things worth thinking about. I'd probably recommend reading it, but with a very careful eye. Howard C. Berkowitz 14:26, 22 September 2010 (UTC)
Some time ago I watched a lecture given by the authors about the report and reaction to it - I am going to watch it again and see if there is anything I can add. David Finn 10:17, 25 September 2010 (UTC)
