Thanks. What Greenspun says is consistent with what I read of the book. I think its biggest problem is that Brooks has been out of the business for too long; it lacks the buzz of MMM, the connection to real work and hard problems. As Greenspun points out, the only thing like that in the new book is the stuff about Brooks' house, and that's too self-referential. Also the style is kind of bureaucratic and process-y. That's probably why I ran out of steam.
