This was an interesting and informative book about how to design a case study, and provided the reader with a bunch of important and useful information. Will definitely be referring back to notes taken from this book in the future as I continue my case study writing.

This rating is much more based on how I like sci-fi (which is not frequently), how confusing chapter 1 was, and the dodgy pacing from chapters 20-24. I really liked the way that Mark was presented, as a man who was going slightly crazy, but was intelligent and also had realistic emotions about being lonely and sad. All in all, it was an interesting read, and omg I can’t understand science to save my LIFE.
