Beautifully written, but so stream-of-conscious that I couldn’t really tell you what 90% of the book was about. I enjoyed the message in the last 10% of the book but honestly the whole thing was very dark and depressing (though accurate) and I wouldn’t recommend.

There is much to like here. Very thoughtful and beautiful writing. However, the arrangement of the material felt haphazard, jumbled, and unhelpful. The book reminded me of “commonplace books” or a diary or journal that is not regularly kept but written in fits and starts over a very long period of time. I did appreciate the different perspective and approach to similar subject matter as in The Children’s Bible.
