Title: Pride and the Adventure of Youth
Review: I gotta tell you... the book is a good story full of fun readings and adventures, but it's also chock full of bragging. Excessive bragging. Bragging of the skill of the Scout, of how the Scout is above others in all ways, of how the Scout has, can and should utilize their skills to exact psychological warfare on others. I just kept thinking to myself as I read it that it was like a teenager, bragging about how he was better than others, and demonstrating that with amusing tales. It's like an adrenaline rush for Tom... and I quote, "With each passing moment, the excitement within me grew more intense (pg 127)." It's about his search for thrill, not a helpful guide to developing any sort of Scout skills for ourselves. Alas. I suppose we'll have to attend his classes for that. ;)
