More of an opinion on the author, rather than a summary of the book.
As my heading says, I felt this summary was an opinion of the author rather than an actual summary of the book. I feel like I learned very little about the book itself unfortunately.

Good
Decent summary. I have not read Kendi’s book yet and was not able to purchase it right away and so I read this. It is informative but not enough :)

This is good, but read the actual book. It's worth it.

Great summary I look forward to reading the full text.
The way the author presents the material made me think. It makes me want to review it again. I highly recommend this material.

I read "Summary of How to be an Antiracist by Ibram X. Kendi" (Nook Edition) and Goodreads has no information on Lea Schullery (Quick Read).
