Literally took me 6 months to actually sit down and read it wtf
The execution of this book is so good omg, it might have taken 300 pages to set up, but waw, it was so worth it. There's nothing I can say that hasn't already been said in a better way, but shit, what an important book, im so glad I pushed through the slow (but absolutely necessary) beginning! 

I also find the formating very interesting, adding the notes works so well with the format, I love it
