Title: Stick with it
Review: All the praise and all the criticisms in the polarizing reviews here are accurate. The format of the book is a challenge, no doubt. It doesn't have a linear structure, it goes on tangents and jumps around in no logical order (well, except for alphabetical). At first this was annoying to me, but as I read on the beauty of the approach became clearer .. by taking chronology out of the narrative, we see Armed Forces in its totality, and the focus is on the end result of the process of making the album rather than focusing on the process itself. If you're an EC fan, I recommend this, but be prepared for an unconventional read that takes some getting used to.
Is the review positive or negative?
