Book Reviews of Understanding West Point: What Cadets Must Do at West Point, and Why
Book Review: ...
Summary: 3 Stars
Good for young readers more as a history of philosophy and an intro to 18th century thought. Would rate much higher if there was an editor. Rampant misspellings and content errors. Ex. The main Greek god was not Jupiter, Tristram Shandy is not a figure from Arthurian legend. So much for discipline . . . .Paragraphs are full of exclamation points, all caps, and underlining for emphasis, which is terribly amateurish. The illustrations are so crude, that it would be better if they were left out. Prose goes like this: "Only fourteen will end up in the Corps of Engineers. Fourteen! That's a telling statistic!"
That said, it's still very interesting and full of fascinating anecdotes. It can be great with some cleaning up.
