Attension span so short you couldn't even make it to the second half of the sentence before dismissing it

I think this comment is unnecessarily harsh.

To anyone confused (like me), the commenters above had opposite recommendations despite having similar opinions of the book.

They were being snarky about a comment when they literally didn't read the entire sentences they were being snarky about. No, I don't think I was unnecessarily harsh.

fair enough, i guess my brain got stuck on reconciling the first thing that i whiffed on the differing recommendations lol

I had the same issue. I figured it out before I'd have commented similarly, but I completely understand where the confusion came from and I don't attribute it to your reading skills.
