The Road to Character by David Brooks
3.0
I like the premise of this book. I like the idea of how the author used real people and by telling their life stories, showcased various character traits. I didn't always follow what the author was trying to show, but I liked the short stories within the book and learning about the various individuals.
I really liked the intro to the book and am rating it based on the nuggets that can be found there. Because I attended book club for this book immediately following the Christmas break I didn't have as much time to dedicate to reading it and/or finishing it. I got about half way through the book. I skipped the second half and read a good portion of the conclusion. I appreciated the good discussion we had about this book. We spent more time discussion this book than many of our other choices. Unfortunately the book didn't captivate me enough to push me to finish it after book club.
