I'm not sure there's anything nice I can think of to say of this book. it didn't do anything particularly well, it wasn't especially clear or well considered, the structure meandered, and any insight it had seemed well wrung by the second half of any chapter.

I found this text extremely helpful. It really helped me think about how to go about critically analyzing a piece of literature with the thought process of a historian, which is what I need for my thesis. I highly recommend as it is a quick read yet very informative.
