4.5
The research, facts, arguments, conclusions - all are very solid and well done. Dining the rating solely on dense-ness. Much of it was very readable (and I approve of the citation formatting with endnotes) but large swaths were very info-dense and made it a very slow read. The FAQ session was especially great imo.
I started it in fall of 2020, put it down expecting to pick it up again in a couple of months, and didn’t return to it for over 2 years, but I’m very glad I completed it.
