I've heard many people say good things about the book, but I've never opened it. Do you like it ?

The analogies and examples are often times fallacious and misleading. If anyone wants a good introduction to the philosophy of Dialectical materialism, I recommend Adoratsky's Dialectical Materialism The Theoretical Foundation of Marxism-Leninism.

I agree yeah, I find myself re-reading several paragraphs because I just sort of get lost in the examples.

It's part of the prole wiki marxism 101 guide and also one of the first philosophy books I've ever read so it's difficult for me to read it. But overall it's really good at explaining.
