This is one of those books with baggage for me – given by a friend who LOVES it intensely, so I was feeling a lot of pressure to enjoy it. I avoided reading it for that reason, and then when my friend said, recently, that this is STILL one of his favorite books…I picked it up.

I did not enjoy this book. SORRY, FRIEND!

There were some lovely ideas within the book, and I’m sure those are the kernels that my friend pulls out on a regular basis, but the book as a whole felt like it wasn’t fully formed.
