I like it!

Stewart talks about some really interesting stuff in this book, but it sometimes dragged on too much. That and the mistakes in formatting (Is that what you call it?), spelling, etc. in the 8th edition of the Turkish translation (published by Alfa) made it harder to read (I FINISHED THIS BOOK IN MORE THAN A YEAR). It's great otherwise!
