Reads like a 400 page research paper, which kind of makes sense since it was mainly written by a professor. I'll have to read it again before my exam, which I'm not really looking forward to.

I wish the book was broken down a bit more into ingestible chunks that gave you a bit more insight into what you should gain by it. I felt like sometimes I was reading it for the sake of reading it, and looking back, wasn't sure what I should gain out of it.
