Whatever facts and details I managed to glean from this book's contents were intriguing and fascinating. The writing style made it near impossible for me to appreciate any of it due to the laborious and unnecessary sentence structure. Or rather, paragraph structure, since most sentences and paragraphs were the same thing. Sentences ramble on and on compacting information on dense impenetrable prose.
