But a bit too long and repetitive at times. But a good listen and recommended.

There's a good reason why this is a classic.

They use different voices for the same characters between chapters, which is very confusing.

I think it takes special talent to tell a in just 1 hour. Great work. Would be nice without the few race baiting lines.

Did he really have to force his one sided anti trump propaganda down everyone's throat.

The information contained in the book is good but difficult to take in on audio form.
The authors spend way too much time in the beginning quoting what people in the workplace say about others.

Interesting stories, but strong victim narrative.

I found the stories the author tells very interesting and enlightening. I'm open-minded to different family configurations and it was nice to hear how people in other types of families also manage to create stable families for their children.

What I found missing is some balance, however. The book doesn't give any of the well-researched data on the positive influence a father will have on the developing child.
If the author quoted some of this data it would enable the adults in such alternative families to take special care to compensate for that and expose their developing children to the necessary influences - and thus become even better parents.

Instead, he pushes the victim (leftist) narrative very hard. For example, if a single woman decides to have multiple children on her own it WILL BE DIFFICULT and has nothing to do with her gender or discrimination. She signed up for that by choice but the author blames it on conservative Christian western society. I would challenge him to try and establish his alternative family in any other, e.g. Arab or African, civilisation and see how far he gets.
