octavia_cade 's review for:
No One Is Too Small to Make a Difference
by Greta Thunberg
informative
inspiring
fast-paced
This short collection of speeches on climate change by Greta Thunberg is something I wanted to like a lot more than I did. Don't get me wrong: I agree with what she's saying. She's absolutely correct... but I'm not reviewing a speech here, or a sympathetic perspective. I'm reviewing a book, and this one is highly repetitive. In one sense it needs to be. The content of these speeches isn't widely known, or at least not as widely known as it should be, and if giving the same speech over and over again helps to hammer in that content and make the general public aware of it, then that's what needs to happen. But it is the same speech. The wording changes, as you read through them, but not that much. The book is essentially copies of the same speech.
As a speech, it's necessary. As a book, it's constant duplication. I still liked it, but it certainly didn't need to be longer.
