This is a great book, and I think everyone should read it. I'm only giving it three out of five stars because I found the volume of data overwhelming to the point of becoming a bit of a slog. The intro hooks you with an easy-read but subsequent chapters become a bit harder to wade through. I also read this as an audio book, which was both good and bad. It's great to have the book ready by the author herself, you can hear her passion, indignation and frustration at points which makes it come alive. At times I found myself wishing I had a hardcopy to flip back and forth with.

I'd still recommend this tome to anyone and everyone and will likely become that annoying friend who gives copies of this as gifts.
