niamhashling 's review for:

The Art of Asking; or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Let People Help by Amanda Palmer

3.0

I was initially going to give this a 2/5, but Amanda's pursuit of empathy is commendable, and I can't judge her for that. She is very privileged, but she seems self-aware and sensitive to that fact.

The book was tedious, though. I don't think it needed to be about "asking" all the time (even if that's her life's ethos). Might have translated better a documentary.
