sad slow-paced

2.5

Well illustrated with unfocused narrative that left me mildly disgusted. This book left me unsure about what the protagonist had actually done in their life that was worth memorializing, because I couldn't identify anything worthwhile. Missed opportunity to highlight the work of the nonprofit, or engage readers in data from their work. Protagonist had issues with gambling but didn't seem to see it as problematic; similar vibes to how they treated family. Book was reflective of a privileged man's tale of mediocrity, thinking it a profound memoir.
