Review: Blog entries do not a book make

The author in no way claims to be writing a book, so perhaps my review is unfair. What I find interesting about this is that the irrelevancy of blog entries, when compiled into one tomb, really weigh heavily on a reader. There is something about this that feels like reading, say, a collection of news articles all on the same topic, but without the purposeful organization or tight writing.Manion can be witty and interesting. I'm sure as a blogger he is considered successful. It's just that the medium really does not translate into a book. The wittiness that will get a reader through the two minutes it takes to read a blog is not the same type of wittiness an author needs to guide readers through hundreds of pages of book.But I'm a gen-Xer. Perhaps younger readers have already been blogg-ified to the point that they are ready for this.
