paigeinglis's review against another edition
5.0
I loved this book but I doubt this book is for everyone. So much on the complexity of what is means to be a person today. Didn’t want it to end.

If I could I'd give it a 3.5. It's an easy read, which is great because it was a quick finish, but there also wasn't a whole lot of substance. The intro hypes up a reader in expectations of reading about a white man who, among few others, identified as a feminist, activist, and ally, all while understanding the negative impacts that are inevitable to these issues with capitalism (again, rare among white American men in particular). Jensen follows up with a 200 pages of mostly relationship experience between him and Jim Koplin, who he is referring to in the beginning, lacking a lot of the nuance or deeper intellectual discussion that he seems to foreshadow in the beginning. It's a nice intro and might help a lot of other young white men stop idealizing capitalism in the way that most do, or at least encourage them to consider other avenues, but doesn't serve much benefit beyond that.
