I was attracted by the life story because from the reviews here and elsewhere, it seemed to offer some tips or solutions to live better feeling when such a step with the society in which we live. If the author makes us actually part of his journey, in the end, it claims to hold any key and do not offer. I am disappointed about that, but it's not his fault ... He did not have this claim.
From the start he said that it is as SA worldview and felt SON: it's very fair. I regret not being able to meet him during my reading, because his views are actually quite subjective, and I would have had a lot of arguments against it.
However, I agree with a lot of things too, including despair to see the world running to its loss no mood to see his peers walk over each other that well-better, the difficulty - but the need - to express his emotions, as extreme and incomprehensible as they are for "other," and I agree offset printing with most of our peers.
I find it quite pessimistic anyway, it does not take into account the progress that is made, associations and green initiatives and / or emerging solidarity, because people will move and that even if one could not help that a person, a region or a country, it would be as many lives "saved" brightened ... Ok, just by itself can not change the whole world at all, but that does does not mean it's not worth it to kicks in the anthill. Finally, as I said, I could have long discussions with him. And although I have things to say about this book, I enjoyed it. You just do not expect anything more than a testimony of a human ... not so alone he thinks. :)
