Review of 'Seeing white' on 'Goodreads'

It was good, has an important message and I learned a lot of new stuff.
However, it has some weaknesses. The language is correct and not difficult to read, but incredibly boring, which makes it feel like assigned rather than interesting reading, even when the contents is actually interesting. I could also wish that it would spend a little less space repeating itself and instead get more in depth with the topics which are interesting, but mainly only have the surface scratched.

However, for the contents, I still recommend it highly for any white person ready to reflect a bit on their own position in Society; even though it is clearly written from a USA vantage point; people from other parts of the world still have a lot to learn from it.
