Halfway through, and I’m not sure I’m going to finish this one. While it’s giving me a lot to think about and reflect on (especially as I prepare for another school year), the tone and writing style are increasingly grating and condescending. Wolf is trying to show off, I think; the writing is so indulgent — full of constant (CONSTANT) name-dropping, quotes, and some truly convoluted analogies. Disappointing
