Good review, I enjoyed it. It does what I think I look for in technical book reviews, specifically:

- gave a detailed overview of the book

- gave an actual opinion, instead of just the summary

- included specific excerpts to support the opinion

- [bonus] talked to the author about specific questions the reviewer had

And I appreciated this last paragraph:

> So, if you’re considering buying this book, just purchase a subscription to his Substack instead. He’ll earn more and you’ll learn more. The only one who loses is the publisher.
