I am just about finished with Endure, and he gets a little preachy. I get that he is a pro athlete, he kind of shoves that down your throat. Don't get me wrong, I admire this guy and his dedication, but everything for him revolves around hunting and "Keep Hammering". I'm all for people growing and following their passions, but this book is a little repetitive, maybe I don't like his writing style.
I thought this book was decent. Overall I think the message was well received, maybe a few too many times. Cam Hanes is a beast. I enjoy this mans work, yet I found this book to be a little repetitive. I get that he is the 'Keep Hammering' guy, but this book got a little preachy in my opinion. Then, at the end of the book, he wraps it all up by talking about how he raised his kids and if he did it right. He comes full circle with the realization that this lifestyle isn't for everyone and he needs to keep himself in check. I really admired that part and thought it closed the book well (in addition to David Goggin's, of course).
So far he is good, I know he doesn't mean to come off as better than everyone else, but I'm not sure I enjoy the view that everything he does revolves around bowhunting and that's how he justifies it.
I'm only a few chapters in, so I will have to wait and see what else happens.
