I was assigned a chapter of this during high school and it dazzled me at the time, with its dense and heavily-endnoted paragraphs. Now? It's frustrating to be subjected to giant notes on Adorno, Althusser, Hall, Foucault, Homi Bhabha, &c. when Lowe completely butchers the concept of abstract labor in an attempt to "provincialize" Marx as supposedly part of the ignorant European universalisms. Master the basics first!
