For me, this book/essay consists of three parts. The first part is rather funny and much applicable to modern age. The second part is interesting, as it gives a look into daily life, court life and the clergy of the early 16th century. The third part is the least interesting to me, as it delves deeper into folly mentioned or explained in the Bible, or the people wielding it. This part tends to get a bit too longwinded to my taste and makes for the three stars I've given this book.
