What Money Can't Buy | One of the most boring book that looked fun at first

still reading this book: What Money Can't Buy - the moral limits of markets by Michael J. Sandel
It looks really fun when I opened the first page, the author gave a list of funny things that are put up on sale such as a "prison cell upgrade", and also a list of things you can do to earn some extra cash like renting out the space on your forehead to display commercial advertising.
But after that it gets boring, the author is firmly on the opposite side of today's commercialization, and he critiques today's overly free market that organ, blood, even bady could be traded on "market". Good to have someone pointing out the ethical problem, but his argument after every example and case are just boring and repetitive and dry, no more fun, just get full ear of nagging and "educating", really not fun.
