Currently I'm about halfway done with Gone Girl, and I intended to write about it this week but I can't help it! This book is just so adorable!
"The Book of Awesome" is a book that my brother checked out of our library and, immediately after finishing, recommended it to me.
To begin, the book made a great first impression. I mean, who wouldn't be interested in the title "The Book of Awesome"? Essentially, it just talks about the little things in life that you can forget are truly awesome.
I feel like as a child, I really would have loved this book. The author is a blogger, and you can definitely see that shine through in his writing, which is cute and playful but sometimes excessive. Unfortunately, the tone I picked up was more annoying than fun, but it was still okay.
The other thing I didn't like about this book was more personal: I prefer books that you can sit down with and read for hours. "The Book of Awesome" is more of a sectional reading because, as awesome as some things can be, it's hard to withstand reading in an annoying tone and in segmented, nonflowing sections.
Overall, I can understand why my brother liked it but it just wasn't my cup of tea. Although enjoyable, it was a little overboard and crazy! I guess that's just the way life is. :)
