--------------------------------------------------------------
My Personal take:
A book which every other 2 to 3 lines must use the dictionary. Incredibly academic and PC(practical criticism)-ish, lots of philosophical terms. But stirs your brain cells. Best for reading it over a long night in ya favourite crunch with a night capper.
