Grace Lavery was my favorite professor in college, and I took tons of her classes even though they fulfilled no requirements for my major, just because I really enjoyed her lectures. I think she's brilliant, and I've really liked keeping up with her work online since.
This book was hit-or-miss for me; some sections I loved, some sections left me screaming, but other sections had me feeling bored or confused. A lot of it went over my head and I found it hard to keep interest in some sections.
Overall I'm glad I read the book of course, but I'm a bit disappointed that I don't think I can recommend this to most people in the future. I do still look forward to reading her future work though, and I'm glad so many other people had an easier time with this book.
