How about writing a book review, posting it to your blog, and submitting a link to that instead of name-calling? This is the first time I've heard of this book.

Or maybe the book just hasn't made a big splash, and people don't spend a lot of time talking about random books with no impact? I've never heard of it; nobody I know has mentioned it.
