Just reading the first paragraph of the second review
suggests that the reviewer is WAY out of his depth as
far as linguistics is concened (e.g. he mistakenly
quotes Danove defending the notion that construction
grammer is in fact a grammar as if Danove were
offering a basic description of construction grammar
itself).

Linguistics can make theology look tame at times. If
you really want an introduction to Chomsky et al some
volumes in the CUP series on linguistics should be
helpful, maybe especially Radford's more recent volume
on Mininalism. In that volume you see Chomsky et al
appropriating some important insights from Fillmore.
At a simpler level, and a little out of date, though
far more up to date than "Syntactic Structures" see
Smith and Wilson's "Modern Linguistics" subtitled
something allong the lines of "The results of
Chomsky's revolution".
