The amount of research that went into this book is truly astonishing! The author spins a very depressing environmental accounting of our obsession with oil into an engrossing narrative that is difficult to put down. However, I did find that at times it was simply overwhelming and I had to stop reading to let some of the facts truly sink in or it became to much to absorb.
This has the potential to make a true impact on our lifestyles especially if it is shared enough to get a broad perspective of society reading it but maybe that is wishful thinking?
