I don’t think I liked this book for the right reasons—I only really enjoyed it when I was chuckling. I vacillated between hating the legalize arguments and enjoying their contradictions. An excellent book at making you think you understand what it’s trying to get at, only for it to be exactly that, and the subversion being that it was actually still rewarding and engaging to read 10 pages repeating the same contradiction. Haunting ending.
