It takes a while to learn to appreciate Reinhold's writing style - or maybe the translation is part of the problem. But I've read pretty much all of his stuff and have found the secrets to locating the diamonds in the rough. The thing is, you should buy this for the content, history and photography. If you happen to find the prose inspirational, then consider it a bonus. This is the real deal. |
