A fascinating read, Bacon makes clear and interesting points and observations with many examples to back up each point

I am biased on the enjoyment level because as a text it is incredibly relevant to the thesis I’m writing, however it earns respect and is a crucial text in its area

There are a few typo’s and grammatical issues in the copy I received which at times did break the flow.
