I'd heard good things about this book and have been meaning to read it for awhile. It gives a fairly good overview of Marxist views and history, but is fairly broad and lacks in-depth analysis. I did enjoy it, but I was expecting something a little more dense in it's information. I wouldn't dissuade anyone from reading it, it is an excellent overview. However, I was honestly expecting more after the acclaim I'd heard. With that said, I intend to read more from Perenti as I do enjoy his conversational tone and wit.

Eh, told more like a tourism pitch for various roadside attractions in the US.

Hesitantly returned to the library today :D

I rarely ever reread books, let alone back to back to back. I checked this out from my library and had to read it twice more after finishing it the first time. The wisdom presented here is so beautifully written and elegantly put. The essence of Zen resonated within each and every page. I would read a page as a nice morning meditation every day. I loved this book so much I'll be buying a nice hardcover copy of my own when I can.

Lost interest even though I can relate to the main character. Writing was good. Possibly will return to it another time but for now making room for other reads.
