My ishmael book5/20/2023 I recommend it to everyone I speak to, and I think it should be required reading for high schoolers everywhere. Instead of the stuffy lecturing of "The Story of B" or the contemplative learning style of "Ishmael" this book is fresh and upbeat. It is still excellent to read as an adult, but compared to the other books in the series, it really reaches out and makes sense to young people. Quinn's use of the curious young girl as the main character brings the book down to a younger level. All of the young people I have spoken to have liked the book, though, because it is a real and present danger for us. In my experience, adults who have read Quinn's books do not like them they either don't see a problem, or they take his criticism personally. It is more important for the youth of the world to read Quinn's books than it is for adults. The use of a 12 year old girl offers a completely different take on the situation than Quinn has ever gone down. The difference between "My Ishmael" and the other books in the series, though, is that Quinn offers insightful solutions. My Ishmael is another thought-provoking look at our destructive lives.
