The Road to Character
by David Brooks
3.5 stars
This book feels a bit uneven at times. Chapter 4, “Struggle” feels somewhat lesser than the other chapters, as if the author couldn’t quite get his thoughts out clearly or didn’t think as much of the person he chose for that chapter, Dorothy Day, as he does if his other exemplars — maybe it’s the topic itself. Likewise, Chapter 6, “Dignity” also feels a bit lacking though not to the extent of “Struggle”. And Chapter 7, “Love”, actually seems rather well-written when it comes to its topic but less so when it comes to its subject, George Eliot. Overall, a worthy book worth writing but it may or may not be much of a helpful book worth reading.
