"I opened this book seeking answers about the relationships between creativity, vulnerability, and courage. I didn’t expect it to profoundly change the way I work. This is one of the most important leadership books of our time"

Every teen should have this
Kids learning about sex is good. It's proven that those who do are more likely to be in healthy relationships, lose their virginity later and have less sexual partners.

I bought this for my son for him to learn at his own pace, it has everything a modern teen may want to know about as well as teaching the importance of positive relationships. If I was in government I'd make sure this got in the hands of every secondary school pupil.

Brilliant book presented in a fun and interesting way.

"I can open this book to any page and find a passage that I want to read aloud to the person next to me. It's about mathematics, and war, and finance, and relationships, and everything else in the world."

I enjoyed the character relationships in [War of the Gods, Book 1: Kanati] by [Jonathan Penroc]. There were points that could have been clarified more but overall it was a good book. I will read the next one in the series.

A very good film that won't be for everyone. If you liked Lost in translation and like films to do with everyday life, relationships etc you will appreciate this. Otherwise you'll likely to find it too slow and a tad dull.

This was an amazing world building as well as a social commentary. This book truely was a pleasure to read. The characters and the way the relationships develops was a nice slow burn. A very enjoyable and though provoking read.

Well written but needed more development
Challenging themes and well-written prose but disappointing in lack of depth to plot and characters. Left feeling like this passed me by.
