the major (and only) complaint i had for the first three quarters was that every time it started to get really engaging it’d be interrupted by a long winded conversation about something very christian and very incomprehensible to me. the only yapfests i found interesting were william’s. i will say he does justify the inclusion of all the discussions/debates in the postscript but you know..doesn’t make them any easier to read
