Turner,
: : "Alas, he's been very absent lately, obviously busy with his book. I have little interest in it, as I mostly prefer to watch paint dry on the wall to reading another trinity debate."
: Now, correct me if I am wrong, but "it" in line two is in apposition to "book" in the same line, and the implication is that "reading another trinity debate" is an accurate characterization of the book. It is not.
This contradicts your review of it.
You have your opinion about Furuli's work, which you may be allowed to do. My opinion, a somewhat more qualified one I dare say, is very different. It is of course possible that his brain has gone through such a remarkable evolution since his last writings, but I doubt it.
It would help if Furuli wrote some shorter texts or essays summarizing his positions, and perhaps placed them on the web site. This often gives a good indication on whether the book is worth reading.
