Well, I knocked this 454-pager out in a week and a half. I never thought I'd be able to read so much. Replacing driving with riding on public transportation—and scrolling endlessly on a phone with readings—will apparently do that for ya!

This one sent my emotions all over the place, but looking at it overall, I think I have to give it a 3 out of 5. This book was long and repetitive. The chapters from different characters' perspectives meant getting a lot of information more than once, for no apparent reason.

As I've read in many reviews of this book, it has a lot of good stories and ideas, but they don't come together to form a nice takeaway. I think it reads like someone's journal—a wordy retelling of events.

It is worth mentioning, however, that I could relate to a lot of the themes, and that certainly always feels nice. Unfortunately, this wasn't a favorite, but I do believe it's worth reading—to form your own opinion.
