Fabulous topic. Well researched. My kind of book... but just can't get into it. I have tried and tried. I am not sure if it is the author's style or me. I usually devour books like this. I will stay up all night, read them in a weekend... After multiple attempts, I am shelving this one.

Really great subject. Really great research for the book... but something is amiss. The writing style maybe, just not sure. I love books like this usually and cannot wait to read them. This one seemed to become a chore. I will have to take a break and pick it up later. Maybe it will grow on me but at the moment, it is unfun.
