It's amazing that the first book written in English on Deleuze and Guattari is still the best one to be found out there. I've been working deeply on the work of Deleuze and Guattari for about four years now and have read a vast amount of the secondary literature that's out there. Although I do not fully agree with all of the ways in which Bogue unfolds their work, he is very clear, highly accurate, and demonstrates a great deal of respect for the text. This is especially true of the sections on _Difference and Repetition_ and _The Logic of Sense_ that have managed to say more in twenty five pages than nearly everything that's out there. Moreover, Bogue does something tremendously important in these remarkable pages... He reads Deleuze as Deleuze without assimilating the project of DR and LoS to the later work with Guattari. Since there are important innovations between the early work and the later work, such an approach is extremely important. Bogue also demonstrates the same degree of respect when he approaches _Anti-Oedipus_ and _A Thousand Plateaus_ by discussing Guattari's important work before his fortuitous encounter with Deleuze. Although, in the end, you might not agree with all Bogue has to say, this is a must read for enthusiatic fans of Deleuze and Guattari. It's too bad other commentators have not adopted the ideal of precision Bogue adopts here... An ideal Deleuze himself praises and demands as a necessary condition for philosophy in _Bergsonism_.Most of the consumer Reviews tell that the "Deleuze and Guattari (Critics of the Twentieth Century)" are high quality item.
