2.0

I’ve always heard good things about this book, but unfortunately I didn’t like it. For it being such a short book, I didn’t expect over 50% of the book to be boring and slow. The most exciting thing happened towards the end of the book, but there wasn’t any real build to it. 

All in all, I’ll probably never pick this book up again. It just wasn’t worth it for me. However, if you did enjoy it, that’s amazing. We are all allowed to have our own opinions and they don’t have to match everyone else’s. I wouldn’t personally recommend this book, unless you’re looking for short classic books to read. Maybe you’d like it, maybe not.
