Like a minnow with no brain, the leader of a school may possess the fearless attributes of a chicken which has had its head cut off through the middle, leaving enough of its reflexes to make a fuss about what happens to chickens, and the whole flock is sure to agree. It was my misfortune to hope that a lot of things in this book were true before I encountered full blown psychotic multiplicity in forms so disturbing that my friends would vote to lock me up so I could get help. There is a deep end which is not well marked in this book, except by a pair of geese that get into such a fantastic and frightful fight with each other that they must avoid getting close to each other forever after. Modern examples might include people who get so close to the truth about something that they have to be taken off the case. This would be a truly great book if aggression was not the kind of behavior which is likely to get any individual thrown into jail on a moment's notice. Putting all the instinctual background together with total repression, I would have to say that this book should be fundamental for understanding a lot of entertainment, but woe to the person who wants to participate. Also, there is a section on laughter which indicated how easy it is for me to be a laughter criminal.
