Title: I'm too old for this
Product review: This is a book you should read in your teens or even before. As an adult, I found it tedious, obvious and even boring. This is fodder for long conversations between earnest youths, not anything most adults need to waste any time on.Anyone over the age of twenty should have already had every thought Singer expresses here and have come to their own peace with the difficulties of ethics. At the end of the day, most of us realize that we can't ever know enough to judge what is "right" or "wrong"; we can only bumble along doing our best and live with the guilt that our lack of certainty brings.I think Singer just never grew up. If I were ten or eleven, I'd probably treasure this. At sixty-one, it's a complete bore.So: five stars if you are an adolescent exploring your ethical self. Two stars or less for anyone else.
