Agnostic: A Spirited Manifesto by Lesley Hazleton

2.0

2.5 stars. Hazleton's prose was lively and clear, making this book a quick and interesting read. With that said, the main issue I took with this book is that it wasn't as much a manifesto as it was a collection of personal anecdotes and philosophical musings, presented in what I felt was a largely tangential and ungrounded manner. Just when Hazleton started to make a noteworthy point, she would move on to a different idea, which left me frustrated. Many of her points were arguably shallower than they appeared at first glance.
This book did not challenge or inspire me, though that may be due to the fact that I am agnostic and already agree with much of what she said. Despite my criticisms of this book, I enjoyed reading it; I just wanted more (and a change of title, please!).
