Friedman's Fables

I wish good reads let us do half stars. It is a 3.5.

My brother bought this for me for Christmas with a note saying it would help me in my writing. I'm not sure that's what I took away from this book. The fables are fun but nothing eye opening.

The author is right that this is a book of questions but them being questions I have encountered before they don't have me reflecting very hard. I enjoyed the characters talking to each other in the epilogue.

The Tennis chapter bothered me because it is clear the wife doesn't like Tennis and we never dive into that and the questions at the end don't even bring that up as an issue.

The deadman bleed test was quite fun and probably my favorite of the fables.

The author is religious and has some fairly antiquated views of the world.
