The complaint is less about the book and more about Google. They are selling a broken book. I asked for a refund and they refused. Beware buying books from them. If you like their reader, you're better off buying it somewhere else and uploading it. Do not support these scumbags if you can avoid it. I was able to read the book fine the first day. After that, it would close the book after a few minutes. Then the next day it wouldn't even open.

Seems like a good book, but it regularly fails to load pages and crashes to the point that it's unreadable. I don't have this issue with other ebooks. My guess is the ebook is outdated to the point of becoming incompatible with the current Google Play Books app. Get a physical copy instead or use another ereader.

I completely disagree with authors view of shame. I don't see shame as being healthy. Shame as I understand it deals with you as a person. Guilt is due to behavior. Guilt drives us to do things differently. However guilt can be excessive if the person feels guilty for things that are not under their control or they did not do.
