I read this for a university class, and I didn't hate it. As far as required reading goes, it wasn't awful at all. It's interesting to have the three different perspectives. That's all I can really say about it. It's not a huge book so it doesn't go into a ton of detail, but considering I didn't get rid of it after the class ended it's probably pretty okay? I might even read it again in the future when I'm not being forced to write about it.
