Query: Little original substance, deceptive premise

This book is basically microwaved left overs. It is a presentation of the "Middle Way" of Buddhism. One of the major points is that things only have the meaning that the observer gives to them. Then it proceeds to bash any sort of conservative social or political views and carries a strong subtext of being a left wing rant. This is quite hypocritical, and I am quite disappointed. I would suggest if one is interested in the "Middle Way" that a personal investigation of Nagarjuna's original work would be much more useful. Don't waste your time or money.
