I'll say this about System Dynamics: it's the first book in a long time I didn't check my phone during. III, William J. Palm paces it like a pressure cooker, with every chapter turning the heat up a little more, and the dinner party scene had my stomach in knots. The cost is that the characters feel like chess pieces, so I never really cared who made it out. Perfect for thriller junkies. Not for readers who want depth over adrenaline.

Honest take on System Dynamics: it's beautiful, sad, and so slow I started timing my page turns. William J. Palm III writes about a shuttered mill town with real love, and the scene where the whole street gathers to watch the old smokestack come down, nobody talking, is one of the most moving things I've read this year. It's a lot of mood and not much movement. For readers who like atmosphere and ache. Skip it if you get restless without a plot.

I thought this was a very well-written text on the subject.

A excellent introductory text in the topic. Very readable while also maintaining high levels of detail and great explanations.
