Prodigal Genius was one of my Christmas presents from my honey several 
years ago. I never had the heart to tell her what I actually thought 
about the book since she was so excited to have found it at a used book 
store dirt cheap. I'm glad she didn't spend any real money on it!

It's very hard to take anything seriously after reading that garbage.  Believe at your own risk!
