Nathaniel Nathaniel's Reviews > Iron John: A Book About Men

I haven't learn anything about male initiation other than what I already knew. And what I knew, was a bit different and far more useful than what Robert Bly explains. It seems that he tries to put pieces of male initiation together, but in reality, he doesn't know what he's talking about.

I agree with one thing - a boy, if he wants to become a man, need the elders to do so. It seems that Robert Bly never had the elders to help him, and thus, he walked blindly through the writing process of this book.
