Reading with Patrick (Kuo) - Book Reviews

Book Reviews
Reading with Patrick could be the most affecting book you’ll read this year. To experience such a spectrum of responses — from anger to admiration, disbelief to inspiration, helpless frustration to stand-up-and-shout-cheering — should be enough impetus to get you urgently "reading with Patrick" as soon as possible.

Three out of four stars!

A powerful meditation on how one person can affect the life of another.… One of the great strengths of Reading with Patrick is its portrayal of the risk inherent to teaching.
Seattle Times


[A] tender memoir.
Oprah Magazine


(Starred review.) The author weaves her personal story with that of Patrick …. She witnesses how many Americans are trapped in a vicious cycle of poverty and comes to several of the same insights as J.D. Vance in Hillbilly Elegy.… [A] reminder of how literacy changes lives. Highly recommended. —John Rodzvilla, Emerson Coll., Boston
Library Journal


Honest, thoughtful, and humane, Kuo's book is not only a testament to a remarkable friendship, but a must-read for anyone interested in social justice and race in America. Thoughtfully provocative reading.
