The book is overwhelmingly incomprehensible. The authors use needlessly complex language and unnecessary terms without explaining them in plain english, if at all. Even with a degree in music and background in philosophy, I could not make sense of much of the book. I would not recommend it to anyone.
See this book's page on Amazon for my full review.
