This book is extremely repetitive. Some of the content was interesting but most of it reads like a textbook.

Predictable. Repetitive Story. Mostly comes off as a boo-hop whining story.

A story about complaining, promiscuousness and a love/hate relationship of a single mom and wanted(ish) daughter. I was hoping for more of a powerful story about overcoming adversity. What I got was a story about excuses and thinly vailed guilt of a single mom who consistently made bad bad choices.

This book displays many inaccurate facts and the conclusions drawn are insane, insulting and, funny enough, racist.

The theme of the book is everyone is racist because the author redefines racism as something innate to anyone who is not a POC. Also if you disagree with any of her accusations or conclusions then you are being racist or fragile or both. This is a great way to eliminate debate or conversation; if you disagree with me then ur racist and you need to check yourself. Only the author can tell you who and how you’re a being racist lol.

The book also looks at disparate outcomes as proof that racism is all around us in the ether. If you offer up or discuss any alternative reason for a disparate outcome then you are being racist and so on and on the book goes.

The only specific examples of racism that are given are red lining and other discriminatory practices from the Jim Crow era that have since been deemed illegal. The book even states that today’s “implicit” racism is WORSE than the Jim Crow era which insanity.

Anyway this was a very long book in that it repeated the same BS over and over. Multiple times I wanted to stop listening to it but decided I needed to just finish it like a torturous bout of cardio.

I enjoyed Trevor’s performance reading the book. Some parts of story were entertaining but I struggled to finish it. Especially with the foreshadowing often used for no good reason.

I have a lot of interest in Israel history and military and culture. After listening to this I have realized I am much less interested in the politics side of things. This books is very long winded. I think it would have definitely been expedited 20-30%. Some sections were downright painful and then I started day dreaming. If you really love Israel early politics and understanding the various groups that coalesced and rivaled to create our modern parties in Israel than you may enjoy this more than I did.

This was a decent book. I didn’t love it but listened to the whole thing. About half way through I had gotten the gist. After that it was a repeat of how topiat grads created one great company after another. Worth a read but not one of my favorites.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. If you like crime/science/biographical books you will enjoy it too. Kept me into it the whole time and I actually listened to the whole thing in a week.
