rionstorm's review against another edition
3.5
It reads like a mix of a memoir, academic theory, and a practical guide, which was interesting. I struggled to get through certain sections that felt a little repetitive, or were very hyper-specific to Canada and the USA. The intense, firm narration style makes sense and fits with such vital subject matter, but for me became a bit overwhelming after a while, in the same way listening to a lot of impassioned speeches one after the other can make the words being said start to bounce off you a bit.
