one thing people always say when they read it is how disjointed his writing is. a commenter in those comments says it.
it isnt at all.
the problem is there were extensive footnotes provided by the editors throughout the whole book and when the book is scanned those footnotes end up mixed together with his writing and it seems like nonsense.
all the epub versions and text versions i have seen have that problem.
you need to read a pdf of it that preserves that clear formatting difference between the footnotes and the actual text and simply completely skip all the footnotes.
like this

also completely skip the intorduction. its 35 pages(!) of drawn out nonsense and wasnt written by the author. it was written by someone trying to discredit the book and apologize for publishing it i think.
the real book starts at about page 43 (i just checked the pdf) and reads easily and very interestingly as long as you completely skip the footnotes.
on many pages the footnote stake up more room than the authors words! if you get lost in them you will completely destroy the flow of the book.
