Okay, so, I didn't hold high hopes for this book in general as it has intimidated me quite significantly for some time, but I wanted to give it a try.
I tried, I didn't enjoy it. Sorry for those of you that did, but it just wasn't for me.
There were a few reasons I didn't get on with this book but the most glaringly frustrating reason was that I don't like being thrown in to a world of terminology that isn't common, and being expected to know what it means. Deriving meanings from context can, in some situations, be pretty simple, but basing an entire book around ideas that you never intend to fully describe to your readerbase is not only lazy, but alienates your reader.
