“To Serve Man: What Americans Need to Know, But Don’t Want to Hear” by Nichole Johnson is a compelling book with many sides, including a sociological one, a philosophical one, and a humane one. It’s a bold take on polarizing social issues, wrapped in a fictional story. Almost an allegory if you will, but still a powerful drama about Nicodemus, an ex-convict wrongly accused and incarcerated for a crime. Upon release, he is determined to put his life back together in the face of challenges and his own weaknesses. Issues he must navigate include sexuality, parenting, turmoil, attraction, society, and women, just to name a few.
Johnson uses a decidedly non-PC approach in telling this story, and that’s okay. It facilitates open dialogue about issues in the United States, and that’s the important thing. Readers may see it as a self-help book for society, but it is definitely an intriguing work of fiction, with a writing style that is immediate and personable. The views contained in the book sound raw and honest, and it’s refreshing to read the varying perspectives.
As serious as the subject matter can be at times, you’ll find a sense of humor running through it. If there is a gender war, then this book serves as a mirror, reflecting what some but maybe not all believe about it. It reaches up into the political and social spheres though, too, showing how the gender war can be used for profit by those who would take advantage of it. This is a book that has the potential do a number of things as you read it. It could reinforce what you already believe, it could open your mind to new ideas, it could anger you, but hopefully, it will help you think about the issues that are brought up.
The author’s voice is so powerful and yet poignant as Nic tells his story in first-person POV. The plot and characters feel relevant and alive as the story unfolds like a dramatic film, yet the social issues are clearly covered. Nicodemus is looking for a way back, a way to redeem himself, and his journey is inspiring as well as entertaining. Can a man ever fit in again after serving time for a crime he didn’t commit? You’ll have to read the fresh and powerful “To Serve Man: What Americans Need to Know, But Don’t Want to Hear” by Nichole Johnson, to find out.

To Serve Man reveals some really dark secrets along with things you never heard be. Some of these things will be shocking, others will be humorous, but TSM will lead you down a path that will not only show the humanity and villainy in us all, but also society's corporate and political role in making the gender war profitable.

The strong point of To Serve Man is that it mentions many topics but that it goes on to discuss them fearlessly and engagingly such that everyone who picks a copy of this story will have at least a lesson to hold on to.

To Serve Man also talks about women, relations, and sexuality in a way I haven't seen in any book prior." Edska
