It's pretty bizarre. Parts are quite easy, but you can be easy and yet abstract in a way that's hard to grasp. There's a lot of terminology in category theory that never became second nature to me. The presentation in the book--with students as characters, asking questions, and the conceit that Galileo and Descartes when they worked with coordinates were really dealing, while they didn't know it--with categories, is odd. It's like saying, hey, didn't you realize when you learned to count that you were dealing with set theory?
