The last less-than-glowingly-positive review I read here was a month ago, for "What Should I Do With My Life" by Po Bronson. Mr. Evans judged the book as "good and bad," and he faulted it for failing to include as many ordinary people as you might reasonably expect from the thousands of interviews with "ordinary people" that Mr. Bronson said he conducted. (From the review: "Very few were geeks, or even grunt-level office 9-to-5'ers," and "once I noticed all the med school and law degrees and sold-her-third-startup, I couldn't not notice them anymore... I'm nothing like these people.") Mr. Evans finally gave the book an overall rating of "not perfect but worthwhile." This kind of language hardly counts as glowingly positive!
