bendubie 's review for:

The Pursuit of Happyness by Chris Gardner
2.0

Honestly disappointed with this book. It took him 200 pages to get to his struggles on the street and that was like kinda the whole billing of the book. Also genuinely felt like he was motivated by two things the whole way: money and sex. He writes INCESSANTLY about his sex life and how that influenced nearly every decision he ever made. He claims he would never leave his son, but he moved to New York and left Little Chris in LA with his mother for multiple years to get his start on Wall Street. Maybe I’m being harsh but I felt like Chris was extremely unaware of himself.
