    Let me clarify.
    The book itself is a good read, it just goes overboard on the quotes and he-said-she-said's, so much so that it feels like crap instead of information.
    Like, some of it feels like he transcribed direct quotes from certain people as internal monologue.
    The other 90% feels like over detailed fluff. Lines so specific in detail that there is no way anyone involved would remember them with that much clarity.
