I had to slog through this book as the material is dense. However, I feel like I now have a solid understanding of philosophical perspectives underlying different empirical research methodologies. I also feel like I understand where I solidly stand, which is important as I prepare to draft a dissertation research proposal.

Philosophy itself can be, how do you say kindly, uninteresting at times. Philosophical thoughts about how and why to conduct academic research; nauseating.

There are some redeeming interesting concepts, but would-be readers beware. Finishing the book in it's entirety should constitute cruel and unusual punishment.
