DNF at 50%.
The author's prose is mostly easy to read which is always a big plus. Apart from that though?
Aside from me totally not being the target audience - neither does he fully present his interviews, nor does he fully dive into facts, nor !! does he dramatize accounts - the way he talks about people with mental illnesses, other conditions and also queer people didnt rub me the right way. Even considering his age, a man as published and travelled as him shouldnt be calling transgender people "transsexuals" and "transvestites", shouldnt be saying all psychopaths do this and that, and shouldnt be classifying some things as illnesses and others not on his own accord.
Tldr; MEH!
