Personally I think “The Coddling of the American Mind” makes like 5 good points, but any good writer could have expressed all of them perfectly in 5 to 10 pages.
The fact that this book runs to almost 300 is absurd.
It's like they took a great piece of bubble gum which would normally be half an inch square and stretched it out to half a mile.
