I have read a number of Paul Kengor’s books, and consider him an authority on communism and it’s Marxist roots; therefore, I found the personal history of Marx and his demons enlightening.

The narration would have been fine if the narrator had stuck to reading the text, not attempting to dramatize it with various accents and voices. I found the attempts at mimicry distracting and, frankky, a little cringeworthy. I ended up buying the hard cover book and reading it instead. Overall, very informative. I hope this book opens the eyes of so many people who think socialism is a good thing. This should be required reading in American schools.
