A review by kevinhendricks
All the Right Stuff by Walter Dean Myers

2.0

It's a Socratic dialogue about the social contract, the unwritten rules that determine our behavior, wrapped around the barest of plots. I'm not a big fan of philosophy and I love a good plot, so this one didn't do it for me. In some ways it reminds me of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, with the philosophic conversation broken up by manual labor (in this case, preparing soup). But I want a story that actually tells a story.
