While perfectly lovely on its own and full of important information, the writing style is a bit prosaic. That worked for me, for others it might not. Especially since most of the time we are being shown an overview of an idea and in the process, a throwaway fact may get caught in the midst and tangle the net, so to speak. 

I enjoyed this. It was an easy way to spend an afternoon and the chapters aren’t needlessly long. If you’re looking for an academic text and analysis, however, look elsewhere.
