There are reviews. A community dharma group in Vermont has been helped greatly by the work of Joseph Goldstein. Understanding the breadth and depth of the Buddha’s teachings has been brought about by Joseph’s detailed and patient discussion of each section of the sutta. Listening to these talks again and again can make you appreciate them even more.
