Marco's Comments:
This book contains Aroldo's vision on what a mentalist should be, how he should behave, what he should do. It shows a strong disappointment for the critics he received in his projects, and the book is a sort of "Mein Kampf" of his ideas. I think that Aroldo's vision is far too self-centered, on what he would like to be and how he sees himself, rather than a generic manual useful to create a mentalist.
What he denigrates and preaches against could actually be taken and used as a form of expression by an Artist, who could be a successful Mentalist by being different from Aroldo's ideas.
