2.75/5

I've started reading this book months ago.

I was in a situation that could only be described as a tennis match between me and the authors. I provide some chance for them to satiate my curiosity to be reciprocated with anthropomorphic assertions. The lack of rigorous scientific syntax and vocabulary is the main characteristic that made me not want to finish the book. After a 100 pages, I finally decided I was tired of playing tennis and just accepted that my expectations weren't met in this work.

However, this isn't to say that someone looking for a nice book regarding some interesting aspects about ants shouldn't enjoy it, just try and leave your academic standards to rest while you do it. ]]> ReadStatus11134992851 Mon, 13 Jul 2026 18:09:04 -0700 <![CDATA[João did not finish 'Four Archetypes']]> https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/5874027195 Four Archetypes by C.G.
