Además de lo ya criticado del tomo primero, que parte del equívoco de suponer que el valor viene determinado por el tiemp de trabajo, cuando históricamente se ha probado que éste es subjetivo, el segundo tomo de El Capital es un conjunto de páginas desordenadas, con una pobre estructua e importantes lagunas teóricas. De hecho, sus consideraciones sobre los esquemas de reproducción es bastante pobre, aún para otros economistas marxistas, como Rosa Luxemburgo. No por nada fue un texto incompleto que Engels tuvo que publicar tras la muerte de Marx.

Whatever the social forms of production, workers and the means of production always remain virtual factors, as long as they are separated and do not act. Only when they united with each other. The particular model of their combination distinguishes the different economic epochs of the social structure. The case which concerns us have characterized by the free worker dissociation and his means of production; we have seen how and under what conditions they come together in the capitalist's hands to constitute his productive capital. The production process that material and personal creators of commodities undertake, brought in this way, becomes a function of money, the nature of which has developed in detail in the first volume of this work. Each production of commodities becomes, at the same time, exploitation of labour power. Still, it is only with the capitalist production of things that a new era of exploitation begins, which, in its historical development, revolutionizes the whole economic structure of society and incomparably exceeds all previous generations by the organization of the labour process and by the massive growth of the technique.

If you want to understand Marx, this is essential. However, it's also the absolutely worst thing ever as far as readability goes. Expect to skim a lot of algebra. So 4/5 for contents, 2/5 for the style, that makes 3/5. I suspect most of us will get more out of secondary works and commentaries, anyway.
