Very technical read, especially the first chapter which condenses two centuries of the history of biblical scholarship into 40-50 pages. After that it gets better.
You definitely need to be prepared for a thorough outline of biblical history when picking up this book. I found it difficult to invest 100% while reading, but that might be a result of the multiple other books I'm required to read for class. Very informative and certainly useful but a tad dry in my opinion.
This book is probably the least fascinating of the ones I read for Old Testament this semester. I like the insight into the structure a lot, and that part seems useful and important for future study.
