The Other Wes Moore: One Name, Two Fates

Helpful Score: 3


An interesting story about two people with same names and similar childhoods, but I think the comparisons were overrated. According to the author, their lives deviated based on seemingly small decisions and luck. But their backgrounds, support structure, and core morals were much different so it made sense to me how their stories turned out. I felt as if the author was talking about his own accomplishments too much, giving himself a pat on the back. I would have liked more analysis and interview excerpts.
