Review of 'On Liberty and Other Essays' on 'Goodreads'

No rating

This guy repeated himself so much. I was going in and out of consciousness. Some good points, some general wisdom. Mostly things that we've adopted by now, not sure if it's because of him or someone else.

It definitely dragged on, felt a bit unstructured, and overall didn't really "hit". The points were dragged out for pages, the sentences themselves, just never stopped sometimes. He'd use his heuristic in practice, and end up at the beginning. He'd make a value judgment, develop it, then stopped, or kept going until he reached his original judgment. You end up with convincing arguments if taken one by one, but as you combine them in your head, you just get confused. Probably something I've missed when I got too bored to really think about it, but oh well. Review's a review.
