A review by edelstein
All About Love: New Visions by bell hooks

hopeful lighthearted reflective slow-paced

2.75

All About Love is filled with Hooks' signature prose, of drawing on many other poems, stories, and memoirs to tell a strong story; this one being about how love is seen in our society. However, it is not her best. She offers many interesting perspectives on the aspects of love, from how we think of it to how it is executed, and those are explored in-depth. Yet I found myself wincing as she veered off to offering a critique of capitalism and following it up with religious love. They were important aspects of love, yes, but it felt out of place among the more carefully crafted sections. The book is solid, but I would recommend another work of Hooks above this any day.
