The content of the book was quite intimidating and difficult to comprehend for me, I was kind of lost in some parts of their conversations and I had to read the whole thing again to understand that properly. I supplemented my reading with https://iep.utm.edu and https://plato.stanford.edu. These two made my reading much more enjoyable and comprehensible. Honestly I liked reading abou Plato's Utopian philosophy because it's quite similar to my personal political philosophy.
