The writing itself is alright, nothing special, but the narration is very irritating by 80% of the cast and the individual stories are very repetitive in nature. It could have been at least 150 pages shorter. Also, fully half the time (if not more often) that I look up major players on Wikipedia, they have an entire section dedicated to antisemitic remarks and it's exhausting feeling like everyone I'm hearing from hates me. I wouldn't really say to stay away from the book, but I think I'll stick with more engaging documentaries.
