BCoF, the ongoing process

So I am done with all my assignments, save one. For reasons I'm sure some of you share, my learning logs for BCoF is going slower then I hoped. I am finding the book is full of useful and insightful information. Point of fact I think it's crammed quite full of them...almost excessively so. At points it seems to get caught up in relaying so much information that it comes across extremely monotone and dry; almost as if I were reading an encyclopedia on the topic. Let me know if I am the only one that has run into this issue or if my fellow history teachers agree. Thanks, and look forward to seeing you all on the seminar.
