"...proposes that only a small number of simple rules are needed..."

Which is what left him wide open for parody and disdain. Only a small number of rules are needed to explain the universe, but he took 1200 pages to say it?

I mean COME ON! 1200 pages? His editor should have been shot.

How can anyone seriously suggest that a man who writes a book that is 1200 pages long, is a master of critical thinking? A master of verbal diarrhea is more like it.

I'll wait for the abridged version on tape, thanks.
