Query: Disappointing

I was prepared to really enjoy "Tying Down the Wind". I've been a weather buff for years and was looking forward to scientific information combined with entertaining anecdotes. The information is probably there somewhere but the language is inappropriately flowery and strains self-consciously at similes, analogies and images that add nothing and seriously detract from what he's trying to say. I was slogging through it rather joylessly anyway because reading is my main addiction, but when it came down to talking about a crescent moon setting at daybreak I just gave up. I would like to assume that he knows better and just got lost in his own convolutions but I really don't know. I would not recommend this book to anyone for any reason. It is a waste of time and money.
