Although the book uses some challenging terms, I found it easy to understand and didn’t find anything to dislike.

What I liked least about "Launchpad Republic" is that it can feel a bit overwhelming with details. While I managed fine, readers who aren't used to complex books might find it challenging at times.

I did not find anything that I would not like. In my view, the language was formal and indeed, everything was very good.

The book's technical terms may be a hurdle for some readers, but I had no trouble grasping them, which means I have no dislikes or complaints about the book whatsoever.

What I liked the least in the book was how complex a lot of the terms and words were, I had to spend some time looking up words.

While it was full of details, the book read like a history textbook which I found hard to stay engaged in. This was a not a book I sat down with for an afternoon - it was a book I sat down to read 10 pages at a time.

I did not like that the book has a lot of complex terms , these terms made it a slow read as I had to go back and forth with the dictionary to understand a lot of these terms, it would be a lot more difficult read for an average reader.

This book makes a discursion on the pros and cons of general entrepreneurship in America. I also gained knowledge about problems and everything that could happen with the American economy in the future. There was nothing wrong with reading that kind of book.
