The structure doesn't make much intuitive sense and it's very difficult to quickly look up rules. The art is not very cool. Good game though once you get it.
Hamas Contained: The Rise and Pacification of Palestinian Resistance by Tareq Baconi

4.0
Extremely insightful and holds a lot of explanatory power. Still, a few aspects remain under-explored - e.g. the analysis of Hamas' governance in Gaza could've been more vivid. Generally, the book could've benefitted from some more colourful anecdotes or reflections to add depth and illustrativeness. Nonetheless, one of the best reads for the current moment.

Einige Kapitel waren sehr nützliche Einführungen, aber oft fehlte Tiefe und Länge. Wenige Aha-Momente für jene, die sich bereits mit der Materie beschäftigt haben, auch wenn nur oberflächlich.

Gefühle in Zeiten des Kapitalismus. Adorno-Vorlesungen by Eva Illouz
3.0
Sehr klar im Ausdruck - eine schätzenswerte Ausnahme im Postmodernismus. Sehr streitbare Thesen und manchmal kommt das Gefühl, dass sehr eloquent einigermaßen oberflächliche Punkte gemacht wurden
