12dejamoo's review against another edition
3.5
The topic of fatherhood is present throughout, via his own relationship with his father, and inhabiting the role with his children. I think he has a very interesting perspective on it.
I can't exactly explain why this book is only a 3.5* for me. It was certainly not a 'fun' read, but that's not necessarily a categorically bad thing. I got through it pretty quickly even though I rarely felt excited to pick it up. I almost wonder if I need to read a bunch of other people's reviews to get to a point where I can vocalise why this wasn't a perfect book for me personally.
