One of the most difficult books I have ever read! The most interesting stuff to read about was in the later part of the book. It seems that he wasted the first part of the book that dealt with issues that, to me were hard to follow. It wasn't until page 134 where Soros finally talks about Open Society and what it is. I think if he had just stuck to telling what an Open Society is and what it could be would have been a better book.
