First, you have to understand my perspective: I'm a college junior and I took a politics and film class where this book was required reading. I do love to read and I have a passion for political science. This book was the hardest book I have ever read. When you read a paragraph you find yourself wondering what you were just reading. When the author writes they use all these abstract and complicated words. It's not just me. I had my mom read it (who majored in political science) and it was difficult for her as well. Other people I consulted didn't understand it either. Everyone in my class hated it. It got to the point where reading it was actually amusing because it was funny that I couldn't understand anything. Reading it aloud just made me laugh.

I understand that if you were at a professor type level that this book is probably very informative. But, for a college student this book is terrible. If you decide to read it make sure you take your time and be prepared to re-read pages.
