All the Right Stuff by Walter Dean Myers

1.0

Ok, I might not be the target audience for this book, but I have read many YA novels I still connected with while this one felt like it was hitting me over the head with its message. I listened to the audio while at work. Afterwords I felt like if the term 'social contract' was said one more time I was going to barf. Also, the summary on the back made a budding friendship with a girl seem like a large part of the story, but I didn't find that to be the case at all. I appreciate what the book was trying to do, but the delivery was not something I enjoyed. Too straight forward, felt more like a lecture than a moral that I would have to think about.

Few days later: I just realized that I've read another book by this author: Monster. I read it when I was a teenager and I remember really liking it. All the Right Stuff must have just not been my cup of tea.
