Query: Tediously written, Spencer doesn't care if he catches your attention

It may be a good historical reference, but it is tediously written. It's so boring (and this is coming from someone who loves history and will read practically anything esoteric and lengthy). I'm reading this for my Modern Chinese History class and it is such a turn-off that I almost want to drop the class (and again, this is coming from a history buff). Spencer obviously does not care for his readers' attention enough to make this SHORT BOOK at least bearable to finish, what with the way he wrote this piece of crap. I love reading, but I hated this book. I can't stand it.
