Is this a joke?
This is the sloppiest and most self-aggrandizing “book” I’ve seen in a long time — maybe ever. The editing (both substantive and copy editing) should not even appear in a first draft. The “author” goes to excruciatingly great lengths to impress the reader with how hard he (thinks) he worked on it, repeatedly telling us how long he spent on it, how many words (and bytes!!) are in each section, how it allegedly will help readers of Don Quixote understand it (when almost all of the purported “explaining” consists merely of long quotations from the book. That is to say, most of what is hyped as explanation is simply information that you would learn by reading the book. Another risible section of the book (“Vocabulary”) gives definitions of words that the author describes as “obscure”: a few of them are not everyday words, but many of them are commonplace words such as “taffeta” and “serge” and “rasher” (yes, a slice of bacon). Finally, the book is rife with errors of grammar and punctuation, and is irritatingly inconsistent with how certain things are referred to throughout the book. Truly an abysmal waste of paper overall.
