I often find I have more to say about problem books. When the author leaves me with too much time on my hands I start to get picky and notice things that I might have overlooked in a better book.

Did he narrate the preface? If not, maybe he skipped reading it too. If you never read the explanation it would be easy to think that a distorted pronunciation was the intention. (A little bit of Bruno in all of them ... shudder.)
