While the content here is interesting, I didn't find the writing engaging at all. Therborn obviously knows his topic and his detailed knowledge provides a wealth of information. That being said, those details come mostly in the form of facts and statistics. There isn't a lot of discussion or personal observation. The language and format is more suited to a college classroom, where facts need to be memorized and theories extrapolated during discussions. I almost felt as if I should be taking notes for a future quiz.

I read a lot of nonfiction, and my library includes a wide range of sociology. But the writing here is too dry to hold reader appeal.
