This book was amazing! It was hard to read because it was fact after fact after fact. It was an assault on my brain because of its complicated diction and lack of variety in syntax.

BUT, I did get the gist of it and will probably read it again.

Since reading the book it has made me realize how blessed we are in the United States and how naive we are to the world outside of us. Life can, and is in many countries, much, much worse than missing a class or sipping a bad latte.

My advice to everyone - read this book.
