In short:

  • A rosary of pearls of wisdom masked as naive poetry.
  • 4 pages of double spaced -I guess- text

Strong points:

  • It encourages you to think by yourself.
  • It does not give direct advice, instead it shows a road map to its bits of questions. Let me use a quote:

“My name is Lucas Bright. Grown-ups say I’m smart. They
taught me to ask questions.”

Here Lucas is apparently throwing unlinked ideas. However, with that assosiation machine you have in your mind (see Tony Buzan’s “The power of Creative Intelligence”), it is immediate to make the link between being smart and asking questions.

  • Clear font, easy to read.
  • Advice useful both for children and grown ups.
  • Strong command of vocabulary.
  • Difficult words introduced so smartly as to make its meaning obvious.
  • Cheap. 99 cents.
  • It encourages you to get off that couch.
  • Fun.

Issues and Values covered:

  • Creativity.
  • Productivity.
  • Solidarity.
  • Tolerance.
  • Freedom.
  • Inner but unseen potential.

Not so good:

  • Not a single image, creative use of format, just old fashioned plain text (but you are paying less than one buck).

Am I affiliated?

  • No.

Am I friends with Writer Dad?

  • Sorta, just see me in his blog.

Do I recommend you to buy this one?

  • No, I woke up at 6:00 AM to write this post because I was bored of sleeping :)

Where to buy it?

  • There’s a link somewhere, just up there.

    Miguel, you are awesome. This is the first review of my work. EVER! Thanks. Two weeks from Friday, I’m actually rereleasing the book with images and text. I never felt like it was complete. I’ll make sure you’re the first one to get a copy (and I’ll send out another Lucas story and you can tell me what you think).

    Have a great day Miguel.

    I have just recently stumbled upon Writer Dad and I have enjoyed his site! I like his style of writing and his honesty that is reflected through his words.
