DNF!
I stopped trying to read this at page 150. I have been slowly trying to read this book for 2 months and I just can’t anymore. I think it’s very well written and well researched but just way too dense for me. I didn’t find myself absorbing the knowledge like I wanted, and I was also never excited to pick it up. Maybe I’ll pick it up again in the future, or try the audiobook, but for now it’s going back to the library.
Also, the formatting of this book does not make the reading experience any easier. The typeface is so small that there are so many words on each page. I felt like it took me an hour to read 10 pages. There was so much information and research packed into each chapter it read like a textbook.
