this is a review I wrote of noah cicero's book, treatise; the review is kind of hesitant, but I really did enjoy reading the book. a lot of it was lazy and one-sided, but it was just great to see someone who really cares and who really thinks for himself. I mean I would really recommend that you (whoever you are, anyone who can read) read it, and say what you think about it.

one thing I didn't mention in the review is that the book had about a gajillion typos in it, which I don't know why they didn't proofread it, maybe it's supposed to enhance this impression of the lack of education of all the people in it; maybe that was an arrogant assumption, I don't know. in any case at several points the misspellings were totally hilarious. one page said "I had to eat Ramon because I had no money", and I just stared at it, and then realized he meant ramen. for some reason I found this so hysterically funny I almost coughed up a lung.

another funny part was when the sister told the main character she was pregnant and he said, totally out of nowhere, "you have something crawling in you, it is like a smarmy worm."

this post on noah's blog is also pretty funny.
