There are pros and cons to reading Kramer as a companion to Buber. One pro is that you can engage with I and Thou with an eye for concepts to look out for in the reading. A con is that Kramer is, almost to a fault, AS confusing as Buber. It's also telling of I and Thou that Kramer pulls in a lot of extraneous content from Buber's other writings to clarify concepts. The diagrams are shit, but if you're wanting to find a better way into Buber Kramer, for better or worse, is your man.
