Review of 'Hope Dies Last' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Paradoxically, or maybe not, I felt more discouraged than hopeful. In part it was the book’s era: 2003, whose major problems just seem so trifling today. The book also felt disjointed, cobbled together. The stories were too similar; the Hope theme only occasionally coming in as an afterthought. I love and miss Terkel, though, and this reminded me of why.
