Okay, I don't know about you guys but this book, though short, is a bit upper level for me. I had to look up 5 words from the first few pages in the dictionary to make sure I was understanding it correctly.

I'm glad it is a short book, because it hasn't been grabbing my attention much. The writing is good, but it's so wordy and is taking a long time to capture my interest.

How are you all getting through these chapters?

So.... I finished the book and it was good. It was just a tough read. I am impressed at how educated our author was. He made references to the bible, engineering, and science. There was mention of thing that were happening in his world in his time period, as well. I was sure to flip to the back of the book often to look at the index and see what the author was talking about.
