Initial reaction: I'll have to think about how I'm going to write the review for this book, but it'll be a sizable one.
I have a hard time saying that this book was a favorite of mine - because the topic it chose to cover - on multiple levels - isn't one that's easy to read or anything that I could say you could "love" per se.
