By now you should know what to expect from Strathern. He read Rousseau's books and somehow managed to summarize them and Rousseau's life in less than 100 pages. He even avoided getting bogged down in the tawdry details which fill biographies by lesser authors, gets in a little sarcasm as well.
By now you should also know that I like these books, too. I think they're interesting, and a good way to spend an hour and a half. I don't know of any other way to learn as much in as little time, and I recommend this one too.
