PositiveThe Los Angeles Review of BooksSexton is too self-aware a writer to give himself a full-fledged redemption arc, but his is a story of ongoing struggle and escape ... Sexton’s book provides...inspiration, though without the trite sentimentality that usually accompanies self-conscious self-improvement. He has dragged his own knuckles through the mud, and if he’s found no pat answers, he’s at least found ways to engage the journey toward becoming a better man. It’s a path that men need to walk. And we can use all the roadmaps we can find.
