So, like. I'm having trouble articulating my thoughts because every time I try I feel like my brain is exploding; there is too much to say, because this book is about... everything?

Let's start for now with "This is one of the best books I've ever read or will ever read" and see if I can't shake out something more compelling than that in the coming days.

It seems like a great book, though heavy. With the election, I just want something lighter.

Audiobook narrator not my favourite, and none of the content drew me in. Just couldn't work up the interest to keep going with it, either in audio or print form.
