A Better Man: A (Mostly Serious) Letter to My Son written by Michael Ian Black
My rating: 1 of 5 stars
It’s hard for me to give a low rating for a passion project from another father to his son. I just had something very different in mind with this title. I struggled to accept the extent of the proselytising. It all came from a good place and mostly sound arguments, it just loses some of the message with such a flurry of awkward conversations combined with an untamed word count. Maybe the secret to sharing how to be a better man is to cut the sanctimony, and just highlight the many conflicting questions we encounter, which keep all us men from being the best we can be.
