Another very interesting book conceptually, but again concerned by a tiresome writing style. This time, it is an overuse of the “rule of 3”. Some examples:

“…to become complainers, to locate a problem, to become the location of a problem”

“…giving complaint a hearing, by giving room to complaint, by listening to complaint”

Editing needed.

I’m excited, but as a scientist, sometimes I wish she would just get to the damn point. It is written very academically, but as I am reading leisurely, I do not care for the difference between “narrative, project, and agendas”. Pages are spent defining words and analytical techniques. I wish there were a methods, results and discussion like in science so that I could skip to what I’m looking for!!!

A highly anticipated read. Looks like a quick story. Conceptually excellent, but these first few pages has me worried that the writing and/or translation is a little too on the nose. Lets see!
