Review of "Nonsense" by Jamie Holmes

I found this book to be a very illuminating account of how we deal with ambiguity in every day life. The necessity for knowing how we react to uncertain situations without really thinking about the consequences versus considering the alternatives when it really matters will enable us to make better choices. The need for closure can be a very powerful force in how we react. It can be dangerous if we are not open to other possibilities. I liked the discussion of experiments that have been done to determine how the mind works in different situations.
