It helped me realize I would not enjoy reading this book and I could probably learn enough from the review to hold my own in a discussion.

I am certainly not trying to tell you what to do, though. I have no idea what the other members of your group are like. Plus, there is probably some value to be gained from reading this. It's just not my cup of tea.
