Bit tiring, overcomplicating things... - By: J. Alan, 12 Jun 2008
Not what I'd calll hypnotic writing.
The subject is tackled in an adequate fashion, but it is done in a dry way, with no prose at alll.
The pseudo-maths are not 100% convincing either.

Not very captivating, Grinder & Co could have done better I think.
Translating the translators - By: G. Mcnally, 08 Mar 2008
Whilst I would recommend this book to some extent as being a very interesting & generallly quite deep analysis of Milton Erickson's hypnotic techniques, particularly his use of language patterns it does have one major drawback. Bandler & Grinder set themselves the task of modeling & interpreting Erickson's work only to produce a work that needs interpreting in itself. Their use of so many arcane & quite unnatural transformational linguistic terms does little or nothing to clarify Erickson's techniques for the average reader. This may have been some kind of intellectual vanity or maybe they were so caught up in the world of transformational linguistics at the time that they didn't realise the damage they would be doing to generations of inquirers into Erickson's techniques for years to come. We are treated to such wonderful terms as transderivational searches, lesser included structures, selectional restriction violations & counterfactual conditional clauses....One cannot help but wonder if this is this reallly supposed to clarify Erickson's technique. In my opinion William O'Hanlon makes a much better job of the task of translating Erickson & his patterns in "Solution Oriented Hypnosis" & "Taproots". Most of the same patterns are detected without the need to resort to the unnecessarily confusing linguistic terminology.
