Rating

Yellow - the book is easy and somewhat fun to read. But, it is mediocre - just like Mark probably intends it to be. And after a while you do realize that what someone commented on his blog is true, he is an "insensitive jackass" - I would probably add opinionated to the mix and make it "opinionated insensitive jackass" who has written a pseudo-scientific piece, and is peddling his narrow perspective about humans as the ultimate truth.

Read it for the fun if you want, and some great philosophical insights here and there!
