Title: Good idea didn't come out too well
Review: Celebrating virtue is a good thing. Compiling stories in praise of them is also good. Bennett's approach though leaves alot to be desired, labeling many things virtues on which others might disagree (cleanliness is on par with honesty??). A better job of editing and selecting stories would have made this well-meaning project much more enjoyable.I am a bit confused by other reviewers' comments that Bennett pushes a conservative ideology here. His right-wing views are well-known but don't come across in the book. I am a liberal but found nothing "conservative" about his selections. Bennett specifically states at the start that good, moral people can be liberal or conservative, which I thought was very virtuous of him.
Is the review positive or negative?
