Reviews

[Benjamin Lupton]

This book feels like it was expanded to meet a total pages quota for publishing requirements. Luckily, the further you go in the book, the less redundant the copy is. At the beginning it is incredibly painful to read, and lasts until half way through. Crank up the music, pop some modafinil, bring out the highlighters, and this book becomes a lot more tolerable.
