"Maybe I'm just not the right audience for this book, however I can tell when someone has poured their heart and soul into research. I can tell how much time this author spent on their book and the research that went into it. I found it boring at some points which makes sense because not every moment of a person's life or going to be exciting. All in all not bad."
