I should have known by just the image on the cover what I was getting into. Tufte is very sarcastic, if not sardonic at some times, to emphasize his point that PowerPoint is not promising. He does get repetitive, but it doesn't bother me as much because I think he was just trying to support his point with a lot of information and examples.
I also liked Tufte's connection of Orwell's quote with PowerPoint. The English language accepts just about any new word, similarly to PowerPoint it gets lazy. Other countries like France control their language from turning into something like English in order to preserve language and comprehension. This can be compared to PowerPoint and using other applications.
