In this brief conversational clip, a child asks his father for an assessment of the business book "Fix This Next." The father admits he has only read the author's biography, which he finds impressive, but he does not expect to read the entire book. He says he may skim or select chapters that interest him. The child plans to check back in a week to see if any parts of the book capture the father's interest. The exchange is informal and reflects a tentative, low‑commitment approach to engaging with the book.

So my dad is reading my Fix this Next book. Oh, I don't know if we can turn around. So, dad, what's your assessment of that book?
What's by assessment?
Yeah, what do you think of Fix this Next? That book?
Well, so far all I read about it is the biography of the author.
And what do you.
Think about the biography? It's an impressive biography. It shows real substance and achievement. Do you think you're going to.
Read that book page to page by page?
Probably not. I've been retired so many years.
Yeah. So do you even think you'll read a single page of it? Honestly?
Well, I. I may skim the book or select certain chapters.
Yeah.
Of interest to me.
Okay, well, I'll see. I'll see if anything interests you. I'll ask you in a week from now and see if there's anything that interests you in the book.
Okay. Thanks, dad.
That's my review for my father's. Because of my face.
