“10 Awesome Reasons to Buy WHITE HOT BOOK” by Brad Jadwin
1. In just the first few lines, I felt a small sense of vulnerability and my face got a little warm. I think that any book that can do that is really great.
2. There doesn’t seem to be many things this day and age that really surprise people or tap into something that maybe that is uncomfortable with in them. So, things like this are needed.
3. Challenging people to write in a book, let alone anything this day and age is really good.
4. This book encourages people to actually open their minds and use them.
5. People supporting independent writing is always good.
6. Books are very long lasting, unlike food or iPod upgrades.
7. Flexibility is really good and a book that promotes that is even better.
8. Each White Hot Book story someone can make can be different. That means it’s versatile and can withstand the test of time.
9. Not enough people read.
10. White Hot Book rules!! Woooo!!!
For two consecutive days now, the antisocialist has been unable to access 21 Stars Review, and not, he assures you, for want of trying. Something must be amiss with their webiste, or perhaps his brain. He did, however, very much enjoy AC/DC and Faithless, though in the main AC/DC satisfied him more.
Your writing, Ms. Alvarez, is as clear as gin.
May the antisocialist blogroll you? Or would you rather not associate with this reprobate?
The antisocialist was able at last to access 21 Stars Review.
He liked “Gravity is Weak” more for its content - which, just by sheer coincidence, mimicked, slightly, a recent post of his own, an excerpt of dialogue from a much longer piece (http://the-antisocialist.com/2007/08/18/philosophy-truth-and-politics/) - and yet “Why Do You Read Literary Theory” picked up a helluva lot of steam in its final paragraph.
The writing in both is, as usual, stupendous.
