challenging

2.75
My 27th book finished in 2023.
This book was kindly given to me by my friend Phil, and I ended up reading it during my short stay in Miami and next week in Mexico. I left it in my hostel in Mexico City.
There was a LOT of extra material packed around the actual tragedy. I love history, but even I thought this book was dense and hard to follow sometimes. I just felt it could have been a bit more concise. A bit hard to get through if you've hardly any prior knowledge of the time period.
