It took me about 70 pages to get in, but once I was immersed, what a phenomenal book. At times difficult to follow, but overall a fantastic read that touches on so many persistent societal problems.

pclairx's review against another edition

It is just too long/slow-paced and some scenes ended up being a bit too much (graphic?) for me. The lectures that are throughout the book were hard to get through for me and took up a pretty good chunk of the reading. This book just wasn't giving me what I hoped all around.
