Overrated :(

Bewertung aus Zürich am 09.01.2022

Bewertungsnummer: 1635862

Bewertet: Buch (Taschenbuch)

I had huge expectations regarding this book, especially when such strong words were used to form a title. The whole book has been written from US point of view; and a lot of content is not relevant for the international readers.
