    Wildboy

    February 21,
    Thought this should be pretty awesome and pretty inspiring. I could deal with the fact he writes a bit like a kid ("I did this, then I did that", with very little description or feeling) - after all he was a somewhat troubled youth when he embarked on the trip. And he was raising funds for Ronald McDonald House, so I felt pretty upbeat about reading it. But, reading the book put me right off the guy - I couldn't bring myself to finish it, but skipped to the end to see if he'd grown up much by the end of his amazing journey. I found him to be very dismissive of things that deserved far more thought/weight, and lacking in self-awareness and understanding. He makes token statements about feeling bad that he'd killed an animal and didn't end up eating it, but he repeatedly does things like that and puts himself in danger either requiring new gear or rescue by helicopter and the like. It's his lack of deep reflection on these things that bothered me so much. Sorry B

    Paid Servant

    E. R. Braithwaite, the acclaimed author of To Sir, With Love, poignantly recounts his time as a social worker dedicated to London’s abandoned minority children
    Despite his Cambridge education and a sterling record with the British Royal Air Force during World War II, E. R. Braithwaite, a black man, was unable to find employment as an engineer in post-war London. Instead he accepted a position as a teacher in a tough East End school and wrote of his experiences in his classic bestseller To Sir, With Love. Nine years later, Braithwaite once again funnen himself assuming an unfamiliar professional role as a social worker charged with finding homes for London’s orphaned, abused, or abandoned “coloured” children. While he lacked formal training, Braithwaite possessed qualities essential for the job: compassion, determination, and a deep, abiding understanding and love for the helpless, lost, and disregarded.
    In Paid Servant, E. R. Braithwaite shares his experience
