I got bogged down around the 55% mark. While this book is worth reading, and very compelling in places, in others it drags to a halt. I shouldn't complain about it because Shirer was trying to complete the details for the ages. And after all, this is non-fiction. I plan to finish this book eventually - I stopped reading right after the endless diplomatic maneuvers seem to have reached an end, and actual war is breaking out.

Perhaps I will have more success with a non-PDF version. Reading 1200-page PDFs on an e-reader can be tiring, especially when you have to perform a factory reset halfway through and then paginate back to your spot. I was not happy with Kobo about that.
