Book Review Quote

Reading a book about a chess match that discusses the games at length without providing the actual sequence of moves is like attending a banquet where the most delicious recipes are discussed yet not a bite of food is served. There is also the padding in which Edmonds and Eidinow unaccountably wrap their subject. This includes boring excursions into Idi Amin's reign of terror in Uganda, the Wimbledon women's tennis final, Allende's Chile and the Watergate break-in, all of which are presented as context but slow things down to a snail's pace. — The New York Times
