dark reflective medium-paced

I think the ideas and concepts in this book are great, but my problem with it lies in its argumentation (or really... lack thereof). Valencia tends to rush through ideas, leaving much to be desired in logical reasoning. Relatedly, because of this lack of argument and explanation, I found myself confused by some of Valencia's use of terms throughout the book (most notably, the way she would speak about 'drugs' and the drug trade when seemingly only discussing specific drugs like cocaine and heroin and their specific forms of trade). Despite the book's faults, I have since found myself reaching for the ideas found within when conversing with friends and colleagues on related topics.
