soupcocoon's review against another edition
2.0
this book had a lot of potentially interesting content and some really fun chapters, but overall it was difficult to get through and often very repetitive. the content was presented in a very dry, toneless way and the writing was convoluted and often difficult to follow and dragged out unnecessarily. shame because it's such an interesting topic, would have been a lot of fun if it was presented better. i would have appreciated if there was also some brief history of the actual development of the alphabet to keep the reader grounded while reading all the different histories and symbolism that have been ascribed to the alphabet. 2.5 stars? maybe 3?
