Yeah, it is hard to get through that book in long sessions. This is due mainly to the overwhelming amount of hand problems, which is a good thing for sharpening your ability to analyze plays that you make, but it tolls on the readability.

The problem some have had with the book is what you've touched upon. His assumptions about his opponents likely ranges are often too tight and he advocates a lot of folds that are considered highly debateable by some if they occured online at equivalent stakes (or lower).

However, his problem-solving technique and his supporting logic are sound once you acknowledge his assumptions. To enjoy it more, you might see how the recommended strategy would change if you were to be more aggressive with the hand early, or if your opponents had wider ranges for their actions.
