This book doesn’t need a review. It is as good as people say it is. James Baldwin is a brilliant writer.

Two stars because it’s funny and fun at times in a dark way. This book is the epitome of performative.

Meh. Too stiff, not enough soul. Condescending as you’ll expect from Peterson. I didn’t have high expectations. I didn’t finish it. I feel this book lacked depth and relied on pseudo intellectualism. Again, what you’d expect.

I loved this book. Very uneventful, but in a good way. It’s a book that doesn’t try too hard. It doesn’t try to perform, you live with it.
