I couldn't put this book down! The pacing is perfect and the plot twists are genuinely surprising. The pacing was excellent; I never felt overwhelmed by jargon or bogged down by unnecessary detail.

The real-world case studies helped me see how {methodology} applies in actual projects. Each chapter builds on the last in a way that feels both natural and intellectually satisfying. It’s rare to find a book that’s both intellectually rigorous and emotionally resonant—this one manages both.
