It’s almost as if they pure poncey dafties on the Booker Prize panel were drawn to the poverty porn and seduced by the need to think they’re cool, by fawning over the depiction of an upbringing so far detached from their own that they wouldn’t even begin to know its reality. However for someone brought up in the West of Scotland in a working class home i.e. not someone who is impressed by poverty porn: this is a depressing, sneering catalogue of self-pity and resentment. A dirge with few redeeming features. I wish I hadn’t wasted my time with it.

Bought this game yesterday. There was a massive download, so I was eager to play it today. Upon opening Xbox to play either campaign or multiplayer there was another massive download, so still couldn’t play. Also, having spent over £50 on game; the first thing it directed me to when opening today was another £70 odd quid pack to play some other game within the game. Talk about GREED. Anyway - who even has the time for 👆. I took game to CEX and got £23 cash (a £30 loss) having never played the game. I’m a COD fan, but the above is beyond the pale. No thanks, and I’m out of COD from this day forward.

I came to this book as a fan of Jordan Peterson, having enjoyed many of the podcasts, YouTube videos, interviews etc However, whilst there is much in the book that makes sense and that resonates with me - which I am sure I can utilise going forward - the book itself, I find it to be incohesive (whilst acknowledging these are 12 separate rules), dense and somewhat rambling. It would have benefited from being a lot more succinct in my opinion, as I think much of the powerful and useful insights are somewhat lost. In fact, much of the useful insights, if not all, I have already garnered from listening and watching other, free, content online. Perhaps I would have enjoyed the book more if I had come to it with no prior knowledge, perhaps not. Still a fan, but maybe I’ve personally taken whatever insights that are useful to me from JBP’s works, and need to move on and listen to new voices.
