Le prime 200 pagine sono lunghe. E' chiaro che servono a dare contesto e idea del personaggio, ma alla fine risultano davvero pesanti; ho fatto un po' fatica a leggere. Al contrario, una volta arrivati "al dunque", questo libro mi ha assorbita tantissimo, e se da un lato facevo fatica a smettere di leggere, completamente assorbita dagli avvenimenti e dalla visione del mondo dell'autore, dall'altro devo dire che mi è salita (ulteriormente) un'enorme sfiducia per l'umanità. Credo sia una lettura veramente illuminante e interessante per scoprire meglio il pensiero e la motivazione che porta una persona a fare un atto importante e life-changing come quello fatto da Snowden.

I told a colleague I was reading Edward Snowden’s book. My colleague said, without a pause, “That guy’s a traitor to his country.”
I don’t see it that way. Snowden did the world a favour, and he was exceptionally brave to do so. He was prepared to sacrifice his life for his principles, and for citizens everywhere.
Of course, I am biased, because I have read Snowden’s account. But what he says checks out. And the international changes to privacy protection since serve to paint his actions as just and correct.
Thanks.

Funny is I learned the opposite lesson that Ed Snowden was probably trying to show.

The beginning of the book was meh, and only once you get to the second half does the book begin to pick up. The only part that is memorable for me was towards the end.
