I read the first half of this book really slowly--like, over the course of several months. The second half moved much more quickly for me, and I found it more engaging. But really overall I think this book is amazing and I would definitely recommend it. For people not in radical leftist spaces, the writing might be a bit of an adjustment, but I think this is a useful and important read for anyone, regardless of their background or relationship to disability. I'm glad I read it, and thankful for Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha's work to write it.
