We were contacted to be a part of the TLC virtual book tour for "Losing My Cool" by Thomas Chatterton Williams. We opted to take a different approach and Dwayne did a vlog to give his honest opinion of the book. Please check out the video and let us know what you think. Also you can find Mr. Williams on Facebook, Twitter and at his official website. Thanks for you time.
Disclosure: Momfiles was provided one copy of the book and all opinions are all our own.
Wonderful! Love the vlog. They make for better book reviews, I think.
ReplyDeleteDwayne does a great review.
ReplyDeleteGreat vlog, I wasn't sure where you were going with the college educated bit but understood as the review progressed.
ReplyDeleteGood review Dwayne! I loved his candor, and also appreciated that he discussed both perspectives (an intellectual reading it leisurely vs. single mom struggling with a son who got caught up)
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of a vlog review. I had DH review this for me as well, because I simply didn't have time to read it.
Pretty good review.
ReplyDeleteI sat and watched the video twice in order to make sure that I understood everything being said. Great points made concerning the types of situations for which the book would be perfect.
As well as the people for whom the book would be less than idea. If asking, a person has to respect the amount of honesty being shown. I know that I do.
Since the title of the book caught my attention I decided to follow the author on Twitter to gain a perspective, though I'm not sure if I will purchase the book.
I am inclined to believe that your husband's field of hands-on work makes the greatest difference with the youth of today.
Keeping it REAL! LOVE THIS!
