Query: A random collection of bad, poorly told, half-true stories

Apparently the only reason the author chose 48 laws is because it looks good, and the only reason he wrote this book is to make money and condescend to his readers. This book is clearly aimed at the slow people at the lower end of the IQ scale who think they are being smart by reading this book. It has more contradictions in it than the bible. Its "lessons" are either repugnantly trite or entirely arbitrary. If the book could be summed up in one word: random. though if your IQ is below 90 you might feel good reading it. The only reason anyone would ever buy this book is to be entertained by the random stories, though obviously the sources used were not very diverse and his writing style is ugly and repetitive. robert greene's guidance counselor back when he was choosing a career should be fired.
