Appalling writing style.

In over 50 years of reading all kinds of literature I don't think I have detested a book so much. Temple Grandin is a great visionary and inspiring person but this book trivialises her achievements principally because of the writing style. It is written with the breathtaking, hyped manner of a celebrity gossip magazine.

The narration is no better with exaggerated expression and faked laughter. Temple Grandin deserves better.
