Disorganized Thoughts is not like your conventional book. As the name implies, it covers the views and opinions of the writer, Zeek, on several topics which might be seen as controversial by individuals. Also, these random thoughts were written down as they came to the writer. Some thoughts of the writer cut across topics like religion and politics. Some others have a bearing on police brutality, race/racism, gender, group thinking, and the value of individuality.

The writer started by revealing how the world came to be and various things that brought about divisions all over the world. The author then wrote about politics while using the United States as a case study, the feasibility of gun reforms in a country where illegal ownership of guns is preeminent, the average treatment of people of colour by the police in the United States of America, and a lot more.

Zeek criticized some systems I mentioned earlier while giving suggestions on what could be done to make things right and probably make the society a better place one can live in. As much as Zeek believes that the topics contained in the book are those he wouldn’t dare talk about with most people, I am usually open to discussions like that with people.

Apparently, the pace of the writer is irregular and random. Being a person that enjoys reading about controversial topics and the views of others, I found this book to be engrossing and thought-provoking. Other times, some contents of the book came off as sad, funny, and refreshing.

I did relate to a lot of things present in the book. In fact, I found myself agreeing with almost every view of the writer. What I loved most about the book is the sincerity, openness, and the civil manner with which the writer passed his message across. On the other hand, I couldn’t get myself to dislike any part or element of the book. While reading the book, I did not discover any form of profanity in it. Also, it had no erotic contents.

I did find a lot of errors in this book, which makes it need another round of editing. However, considering the nature of the book, I’d remove only one star from it. Therefore, I am giving the book a rating of three out of four stars. Open-minded people and anyone who would love to read about the topics that I mentioned are contained in this book will find it appealing, and I recommend it to them.

Zeek not only criticizes the systems but also gives suggestions on how to improve the same, this makes the book helpful.

A book that discusses such broad topics that you mentioned above is a piece worth reading. Although I hope the religious aspect didn't occupy most of the pages. Nice review

I'm can't wait to read this book. From your description, it seems like an intriguing, thought-provocative book. I was also relieved to know that it has no profanity or erotica. Thank you for your review.

Exploring social constructs and rooted stereotypes is always educational. Don't know if I would like the political parts about the gun regulations though. Great review!

Disorganized thoughts on controversial topics would make an interesting read. Like the author, I usually keep my opinion on controversial topics to myself, discussing it with only persons who I feel are reasonable enough to not take such discussions personally, especially if we have contrasting opinions.
I also like 'civil manner with which the writer passed his message across'. This would make his message more easily understood, and less provoking or offending.
I think this is a great book and a great review as well.
Live and let live, baby.

The review is decently formulated, I suppose the nature and subject matter of the book is a bit dry; that it uses the premise of a case study implies that a fair amount of objective information(stats, studies and the like) is discussed, the lack of personal relation to some of the issues vented upon does remove one somewhat from the core of a discussion. Because there are greater forces at play when people go about the business of life and meet trying circumstances.

Disorganized Thoughts is an immediately appealing topic as I suppose majority people can relate to just those two words. Finding that it is about politics, religion and other topics of the sort makes it a bit more intriguing. With so much going on in 2020 it is hard to keep up with the events let alone all the information and how you feel about it. It also seem as though it would get a bit overwhelming and boring switching topics and it sounds as though it is mostly one's opinion supported by facts he used just for that purpose , which makes you have to fact check yourself. Nonetheless it seems worth reading as it could open up your mind.
