My opinion: This book was so obviously deeply researched and well written. I loved the narrative of the book, particularly at the beginning. It gave it a lot of information in a very welcoming format. There were moments where the writing needed to be tightened up or where the story seemed to drag. 

There was a lot of information to be garnered from this book.
