Too often we simply avoid bad books without ever knowing why they are bad and to be avoided, but relying on friend’s opinions or word of mouth reviews. I have read other reviews of this book, Akins’ Lebor Feasa Runda, which took a highly scholastic approach and were very valuable, but I think that by arguing semantics of language and nuances of source material many readers may get lost in the details. So here I offer my simplified book review, an Idiot’s Guide to Why This Book is Awful, if you will.
