I didn't finish it. But I just couldn't force myself to go any further. It gets the second star because I could tell that Baker might have some writing chops, he just executed his topic poorly. This seemed like such a good idea: tell the world what it is like to be a sub in America. He did it for 28 days, and you get to hear about every single once. Literally. He goes day by day. Even if nothing worth noting happens. You get to hear about the nothing.

This book was just boring. I had to force to read as much as I read. Because there was just nothing of interest to make me want to read on.

Baker, instead of writing about every single day, BORING or interesting, should have picked specific anecdotes. And rather than just being a factual account of each day, how about combining his experience with something related to education in the world? This seems like the laziest way to write a book. Do something, document every moment, type it on the page, publish. He offered no commentary, no new ideas. Just regurgitated his day on the page.

So. Very. Boring.
