Agreed (although not everyone does…)

What makes it excellent is that it is not only so carefully researched and thoughtfully developed, but it is written in such a way as to resemble the experience of watching a Marx Brothers movie.  The language is playful and deceptive, and the text is constantly invoking non-sequiturs, puns, and other forms of wordplay to provoke new readings and challenge old ideas.  It is a Marx Brothery take on the Marx Brothers.
