This book took me a long while to read, but thats more to do with my changing mood than the book itself. I'm glad I kept coming back to it.
Its a classic for a reason. It still rings true today and I don't know if thats good or scary. If you're not into politcal books, than this one won't be for you. It does get slow in places and a couple bits I had to audiobook and read along to keep me going, but its well worth it in the end. Lots to think about and to talk about afterwards.
