The book’s content should induce anger and sadness, while also inspiring, but it is so badly executed that you feel very little while reading it. It feels like it was several different ideas mashed together without forethought. There are gripping, engaging moments throughout, but they are few and far between. I left the book feeling like I’ve gained nothing but lost time
