What is with the writing style? These kinds of books are supposed to be understood whilst reading it however as with many others on my module have said; this novel is difficult to read! Too technical when it could have used easier language instead of making it very robotic and technical.

The information is quality in terms of the case studies and ideas it mentions however it felt like you are trying to mark a criteria in making sure it contains certain words all the time.

I wasn't expecting to be entertained by this book, but I found it a very degrees and difficult to keep awake when reading.
