What did you like least about "The Riddle of Alchemy" by Paul Kiritsis?

[Natalie MT]

I probably dislike the writing style the least. It's a little meandering, and while I've been reading, I keep finding myself thinking, "what's your point here?"

[King kly]

Although I do not specifically dislike anything about the book, I would say that the writing technique wasn't top-notch. It's a great book though. However, the author could have done better.

[Kristin Cowan]

It is written at a very detailed level. I felt that as a reader with limited knowledge of the topic, I had to reread a lot of his writing.

[Leslie coccia]

What I liked least about the book is that it’s a little overwhelming right from the beginning. It seems like it was written with a perspective that a reader would already know quite a lot about the areas of philosophy that it discusses.

[KeishaMoore]

I disliked the fact that the book was abstract and complex because a lot of misunderstanding set in from this.

[Asher Willams]

if there is anything, to dislike, it would be the complex writing style. one has to pause and go over some sentences and paragraphs in order to finally understand them.
