I won this in a Goodreads giveaway. Pope Francis is a lovely person and I enjoy hearing his thoughts, but I think it is all a bit fluffy. Perhaps that had something to do with the format.

Honestly, I was pretty bored by the questions posed to Pope some of which were cliched, moralistic and bore a burdening seal of Catholicism. Well, more could be asked to this guy who strays from the ways of his predecessors. I was amused by Pope Francis's way of responding, evading the conformity imbibed in the questions. Also, I am impressed by the trust he invests in youth, technology and his constant references to labour and other economic realities. What struck me most importantly is the part where he talks about the dangers of a single thought and the need for dialogue.

Pope Francis is so wise and has such a profound way of putting things. The only reason this isn't five stars is because I'm not Catholic, so there were a few points that don't align with my theology, but so much of it was really great.
