I don't even know what to say about this book. I found it confusing and I got lost often. I never really knew what was going on for most of the book which makes it really hard to give it a rating. I feel this book is better to be studied academically and discussed with other people than to read it independently. I think if I had had some people to discuss it with as I read it I would have a deeper understanding and this book would have been more profound for me. Ever since I read it independently I did not enjoy the experience and I feel bad I did not connect with this classic.
