Title: In Praise of Nepotism : A Natural History by Adam Bellow ISBN: 0-385-49388-6 Publisher: Doubleday Pub. Date: 15 July, 2003 Format: Hardcover Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $30.00 |
Average Customer Rating: 2.82 (11 reviews)
Rating: 2
Summary: Just as dull and conceited as daddy
Comment: Adam is just as bad of a writer as his father, Saul Blow. It's nice to see that mediocrity runs in the family. Who really wants to read the words of a pretentious nobody trying to justify his own success to himself and the world? Please, Adam, save it for your therapist.
Rating: 3
Summary: A different point of view...
Comment: I bought this book on the strength of the Booknotes interview of author Bellow. I mean: how can you possibly end up praising nepotism? What's he got to say about it? The historical material is fascinating in the way that Bellow can show a different side or point-of-view for some famous (and some less famous) historical figures and how nepotism played into their successes (or failures). Less convincing is the set of conclusions he makes from his research. But I still enjoyed the book pretty well. It'll make a good paperback someday.
Rating: 4
Summary: Provocative
Comment: This is an interesting and persuasive book that challenges preconceived notions. A good read.
