This was a double-edged sword to me. Much of the book was interesting and I learned things I didn't know. The writing style at times was unpleasant. Sometimes the author took too long to get to the point. I enjoyed parts and was disappointed with other parts.
A bit slow in the middle but the last third picks up.
