0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. STOP ALREADY (Edited and revised)By Stephen S.A scholarly undertaking with big long words and very long sentences. At first. I thought that this would be more than I wanted to know. The introduction is tedious and plots. making you work. In my opinion. the author needs to read Elements of Style; it might have been enjoyable as opposed to an endurance. I initially gave this three stars. and I was wrong. Once you get past the introduction and preface. it takes off. I found myself slowing down to savor the insightful glimpses of Twombly creative mind. I apologize for my initial reaction. and now bestow four stars. It is fascinating stuff. Ill still gripe about the style. but not so much.3 of 4 people found the following review helpful.
