I really enjoyed this book/commentary. \\nI found it kind of like a reader's guide to Ecclesiates. \\nIt is a verse by verse commentary in that Shaw does go through each and every verse explaining his thoughts about it and guiding the reader to see it in the immediate and larger context of the whole book. But it also felt friendly and intimate and he explained his thoughts and explanations and continually reminded the reader about the purpose of the book. \\n\\nI would be eager to find more commentaries written like this, that are exegetical but not overly academic, and in a sense devotional.
