i only read this for AP lang and i'm glad it was short because it sucked. genuinely this book is so useless and boring. the connections between world topics that were made were so bizzare, and i know that was the point, but the execution was terrible. it was just BORING like none of the information was presented in an interesting way that made me question anything or have a new perspective, which is what the book was trying to do. no offense to the authors but like 0/10 would not recommend💀
