Good balance of depth and accessibility. You don't need a background in this topic to follow along, but it never feels dumbed down either. Well done.
Finished it in four sittings. Usually takes me weeks to get through an audiobook. Says a lot about how gripping Robinson Crusoe Written Anew for Children is.
I almost skipped this one because the title didn't grab me. Really glad I didn't. The content inside is miles ahead of what the description suggests.
The way James Baldwin uses stories and examples to illustrate points is really effective. Doesn't feel like a lecture at all — more like a conversation.
