Verschrikkelijk slecht geschreven, met vooral het zwaarmatig storende problematische probleem liggend bij de overmatig complexe zinsgebouwsels, die dan leiden tot een gebrekkige mogelijkheid van de verstaan- en begrijpelijkheid van de leerstofsmaterie, niet te vergeten de hoeveelheid spelfouten er te vinden zijn in elk hoofdstuk

beangstigend

I love linguistics 

Holy shit

If you look past the blatant racism(obv books are products of their time etc etc) this was probably the most fun children's novel I've had the pleasure of enjoying in a long time

I feel bad for the man, he's just a lil' guy
I wanna write narrators as unreliable as Nabokov

i'm surprised about how much i enjoyed this

this story sags in the middle but it's clear why it's an epic in american literature.

The advantages of learning to read other people, as if it were a foreign language.

Not terrible, not amazing
The book is definitely a good starting point, kind of an ‘introductory course' that points you in multiple directions to explore this topic differently. It doesn't really have a clear throughline, though, and is just throwing random ‘symptoms', ‘causes' and ‘solutions' at you, all thrown together. 
I definitely became more aware of certain things (in the same way that an english lesson makes you aware of the existence of a genitive, which you've been using unconsciously forever) but there are no real revelations in this book for most people.

I've never cried qbout non-fiction until now

Incredibly slow and dark, disgusted by almost everything every character did, but that just shows how good it's written

Definitely a good read, kind of lulls sometimes, but i ate up the last half in one session i couldn't stop
