I did so after having attempted four times over the course of roots a year to roots make it through this book. It proved impossible. Anderson's roots book began its life as blog entries, and the material did not transform well at all. The material is comprised of either the rather boring life minutae one would find in a weblog entry, or, worse, what I must unkindly call 'psychobabble' - material that oft seems poorly rehashed from other motivational sources. The overly frequent motivational material proves quite uninspiring, and, when taken cumulatively, becomes both exasperating and flaccid. The complete and utter failure of this text is very tragic, since the battle Anderson fought is flabbergasting in its difficulty and his accomplishment in and of itself is amazing and deserves high respect. A more aptly written tale of the journey from extremely morbid obesity to a fit physique could have proved both inspirational and life-changing to a wide audience.
