I will be honest: I did not enjoy this book until Chapter 6, which spoke to me on a number of personal levels. Becker's book was not what I was expecting, and it took a few chapters for me to settle in and to appreciate the book for what it was: it is more memoir than sociology, more personal reflection than academic report. Once that sunk in, I was able to appreciate and enjoy the book more, including the first five chapters retroactively. Becker's incredibly gentle tone and constant personal stories and references make this an excellent book for anyone beginning the awkward journey of examining their privilege. I also appreciated how the privilege she examines is multifaceted, going beyond race or ethnicity to touch on able-bodied and socioeconomic privilege as well.
