Officer Clemmons: A Memoir by François Clemmons
3.0
I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for this review. All opinions are my own.
Okay, to be honest, I ;never remember Officer Clemmons from Mr. Roger's Neighborhood, so I was coming at this with no knowledge of the character Clemmons played. I thought that it wouldn't matter, but I never really got engaged with the book. The author's life was interesting, dealing with issues about overcoming the odds due to racism and sexuality, but the writing was just okay. It was not compelling reading despite the hefty topics covered. .I wish I had glowing things to say about this book, but it left me feeling flat instead of uplifted.
