Max Boot: dishonest to the max to boot.

I suspect that many reviewers, perhaps Boot in this case, just skim the books they are reviewing rather than giving them a good, honest read. That would be especially true if they felt an axe to grind before starting.

And even if you read every word, you have to sit and think on it to separate the bits that resonate from the fluff and the BS, if you're going to write a thoughtful, balanced review. (Not saying Woods fills his pages in part with fluff and BS, haven't read his books yet, just talking about the degree of commitment it takes to write a book review of any value. Having seen him speak on YouTube, I very much doubt there's much fluff or BS to be found in Woods' books.)
