My main criticism of the book is that it is slow and laboring and dense with numbers and alleged statistical proofs that Moore did not write the poem in question. Chapter after chapter of painstaking detail about the mean and standard deviation of how many times the author used the word "the" in his corpus of work were enough to wear me down.
