informative reflective slow-paced

4.5

On first read in 2018: 4.5 stars. Though I can't say that this was an enjoyable read (as the topic is maddening), it was extremely informative. It only lost half a star because it was at times repetitive.

2023 reread:

Overall rating: 4.5 stars

Style/writing: 4.5 stars
Themes: 4.5 stars
Perspective: 4.5 stars
