brittanykroeckel's review against another edition
5.0
The use/re-visitation of The Mecca, the black body, the dream, the struggle, and other ideas brought a cohesiveness to the book despite it shifting to different ideas. I noticed some other reviews saying they did not like the writing style. While I will admit I did get lost a few times and had to reread parts over again, this is a message from a father to a son -- and we are privileged in being able to enter that intimate space. These ideas are complex and challenging -- the writing reflects as such.
