The foregoing is only a small sample of the topics in this book, but it is already more than this article has space for. The topics raised are important, and deserving of further discussion and clarification. I wish that they were presented in a form that is more user-friendly, so that more people would be willing to read them, and therefore be able to think about them carefully and respond to them.
Given the many kinds of difficulties I had in reading and understanding this book, I find it difficult to imagine that the authors took other position with the reader. I think that few people will buy Whispering. Of those who do, few will manage to read it. And of those who read it, very few will be able to understand it.
I hope that this review can be a contribution to the kind of friendly and respectful professional dialogue that the book calls for, and that can strengthen and further develop the field. There is some nourishing meat here, but also a lot of gristle that needs to be cooked and chewed very thoroughly before swallowing, and quite a lot of much less nourishing skin, feathers, teeth, claws, and bone that is best set aside.
