Good information, but a bit hard to read.

I thought that the content of this book was great. It presented a lot of interesting info about what makes the Catholic faith different from other Christian religions. I'm far from a theologian, but I think the type of information presented seemed to be on a good level for an average person to read.My only problem with the book is that the material is very dense. I often found myself reading a paragraph or a page two or three times to really understand the full meaning of what was being said. I have a feeling though that may be typical of such an in-depth and mysterious topic as religion. In other words, this book will probably take you longer than the 224 pages would indicate.One other note: The title describes exactly what it is, a focus on the unique aspects of Catholicism. This book is NOT a comparision of various religions in general; only how they relate to Catholicism.
