I struggle with how to review this book. The last 200-250 pages were really good and engaging. The only reason I got to that part of the book is because I was reading it for book club and wanted to finish. It needed a better editor to trim down the vast amount of useless information. I also struggled with how women were portrayed by almost every male character in the book.
