"This is... not an easy book to read. I probably only got about 35-40% of it, to be perfectly honest. Having a grounding in the work of the philosophers to whom Merleau-Ponty is largely responding would have helped immensely; as it was, I have only a moderate familiarity with Descartes and a surface understanding of Kant. I had had no experience with Husserl. If you're interested in reading this book, I strongly recommend shoring up your background in these other thinkers first.
That said, the moments in which the text became clear to me were breathtaking. Merleau-Ponty's view of the world and the ways in which affect it and are affected by it are mind-boggling in both their complexity and their simplicity. I won't say much more, because I'm sure that I'm not doing it justice, but if you contemplate the act of living in the world (or in the universe, or in reality), this book should open some new pathways for you."
"The flesh is neither some sort of ethereal matter nor is it a life force that runs through everything. Rather it is a notion which is formed in order to express the intertwining of the sensate and the sensible, their intertwining and their reversibility. It is this notion of reversibility that most directly problemetizes the concept of intentionality, since rather than having the model of act and object, one has the image of a fold, and of the body as the place of this fold by which the sensible reveals itself."
