I find it interesting to read everyone's reactions here, both positive and negative. As long as it's not trolling, or being rude to others, why shouldn't one feel free to leave their thoughts?

In fact I checked out the comments for this article specifically because the book doesn't appeal to me either, and I was curious if I was the only one who felt that way.

Because hinting the last 20 years were the pinnacle of achievement, or particularly special, seems unfair to the pioneers who were there before, opening the paths their successors walked.

I think it is fine. I will actually be going in person to buy the book tomorrow. I'd prefer people voicing their opinions over an echo chamber.
