   While I appreciate the effort, I struggled to connect with Althusser’s ideas even after reading this. Maybe it’s just not for me. Three stars.

   Althusser is dense, but this book makes him slightly more accessible. Still a challenging read, but worth the effort if you’re serious about Marxist theory.
