Stakes Is High: Life After the American Dream by Mychal Denzel Smith

3.0

---

My biggest problem with this book was its lack of a clear, underlying theme. In other words, this book was all over the place. I wish Mychal Denzel Smith spent more time concentrating on one topic at a time. Here we have many bold ideas, but not much information on how to successfully implement them. This book reads like a work of nonfiction with a lot of passion behind it (and that is completely understandable given the time we live in). I just wish there was more information on practical implementation of the author's very legitimate concerns and ideas. Having said that, I am glad I've read it. This is a short read that will benefit everyone.
