I'm not going to lie, this book starts off very dry. The author's goal is to make a short and concise book about Hinduism, which is very difficult, considering how many variations there are inside itself. I actually had to pick up a highlighter and notepad just to keep everything organized and to keep myself focused. After the first chapter, I started to get into the swing of things, and the reading becomes much easier.
