Not impossible to navigate and definitely worth the price. The Table of contents is functional and helpful, but the formatting of the book is somewhat lacking in user-friendliness. All in all, Chesterton is a gift and a genius and he should be bought and read.

The TOC on my copy wasn't interactive at all. I mean, you could do worse than to move your cursor leftward in a massive pile of Chesterton and read whatever shows up where you stop; that's pretty much how I encountered GKC anyway. And there's no point in being peeved about getting for $1.00 what would take up a couple of meters on a bookshelf. Still, it's a pain to have to guesstimate how far you are in the collection in order to find anything.

Chesterton's poetry does not quite match the height of The Man who was Thursday, but in pieces like "Lepanto" it is as good as most so-called classics. Try this now!
