Book Review #2

This book review might have been interesting had it only included some kind of text.

The Ways Weasels Speak

by Peter M.

Weasel Words: The Art of Saying What You Don't Mean is not about communicating with rodents. It is not a book that will show you how to deceive people. It is not even a book on how to use weasel words. It is a book about what weasel words are. It describes how they are used in various areas, from advertising to politics to education to even science, as well as their impact on language. This book will not help you as a writer if you are trying to find ways to deceive your readers, but it will help you as a person if you are trying to identify these weasel words.

This should have had a good title but ...

By Thomas B.

Jonathan Gottschall's The Storytelling Animal is one of the stranger books I've read. In the book Jonathan talks about how real life events can be compared to stories and how we are always creating stories. His belief in the story is that everything we see, hear, feel, dream, and experience is a story. Every single moment we live is all apart of the grand story we call our life. Jonathan focusing on the reality of dreaming, we are always dreaming which means we are always creating a new story layered on top of the story we are always living.

Notes on Notes to Boys

By Shannon J.

Notes to Boys by Pamela Ribon has to be one of the weirdest books that I have ever read. It was a book on the writing craft, where an author goes back to her teenage years and writes about her youthful embarrassments. However, Pamela was not a normal teenager; she wrote multiple letters to almost every boy she ever talked to, and some of these notes were pretty weird. She kept copies of these notes for herself, and in the future she put them into a book, explaining each note in a paragraph or two. She went into some pretty interesting details, and some of the notes were the cheesiest things I have ever read. A few of them made me cringe, and I cannot imagine why anyone would want to give something like that to a person that they had feelings for.
