Great pacing and a strong finish. Will buy more from this author if available. Highlighted a ton.
Nice addition to my library. EPUB opened fine on Apple Books.
Surprisingly good. Better than a lot of architecture titles I've tried free elsewhere. Read on Kindle.
I re-read chapter 3 twice. That alone made the $2.99 worth it. Perfect commute read.
