After some reflection, I think my first 2/5 rating was a bit low. I'm going 3.5 now based on people's observation that their spouses - who were not familier with the book - still got the message. I was worried that it wouldn't stand on its own.
Perhaps Stadler's name was Schtadler before he anglicized it.
