Not the best, victimization at its finest.

Revisado: 06-17-19

I was excited to read this book as a part of Pride Month. Unfortunately, the book doesn’t really present anything groundbreaking or strategic. The author discredits advances the community has made over the decades. He constantly complains and presents the community as a victim. Rather than rising up to meet the challenges any marginalized community faces, the book comes across as entitled.

Solid read

Read Sapiens a few months back and decided to compliment it with this book. Overall, it’s a solid read that presents an interesting question about the future oh human beings. It’s a big wordy but a compelling thesis. If you liked sapiens, it’s worth a read.

A must read before 2020

Revisado: 03-19-19

Didn’t know much about Mayor Pete before reading this book. I haven’t made up my mind, but can say with confidence, that Mayor Pete gets me excited about our future. He is so smart, articulate, and competent.

Powerful

One of the most impactful reads of my life. The raw emotion poured onto the page is tragic, enlightening, and profound. Amazing read.

Profound and relevant

A very fresh and relevant take on the racial, economic, and moral discourse surrounding gentrification in the 2010s.

Incredibly dull

Revisado: 04-06-18

I was not impressed or intrigued by this book. The story focuses more on Chicago than any part of the West. It’s also very narrow insofar as timeline, sticking between just a few decades. There is no progression into how the seeds of the city played out in future decades and generations.

A great and relevant read

Revisado: 02-13-16

Coming at time when when Rumors surrounding a Bloomberg run for president, I found this book to be particularly interesting and informative about a man who has really accomplished so much. I find myself becoming more enthralled with this man as time progresses. Michael Bloomberg was mayor for the first my first five year as a New Yorker. I saw the city change so much for the better, yet I wanted to know more about his life. I definitely recommend this to someone interested in "Mike," New York City politics, or business in general.

Great book for big ideas

Revisado: 11-11-15

Grant does a great job of outlining how he has been successful and what it really takes to think and act big. The practicality is lacking (just a bit) but that is a good thing. I would recommend this book to someone trying to expand their idea of success and how to truly define it for yourself.
