is it okay for a person to want to re-read from the beginning just as soon as they have finished it?I've never seen Connor's videos before and I'm typically disappointed in books by YouTubers. But I seen so much hype around this book that I picked it up and I actually really liked it. A Work in Progress is very well written and in a style that feels conversational. I felt like I was friends with Connor and was just hanging out, listening to his stories. It was really interesting to read about Connor's life and he seems like a really cool person. All of his stories are well spoken and not
I am bit surprised by the huge number of stellar ratings of this memoir, unless they are by young people and fellow youtube fans of the author. I was mostly annoyed that a young man with a supposedly perfect family and very few obstacles feels that he can give fairly judgmental advice to older people about breaking free of the restraints of perhaps unsatisfying jobs and just be free. He has the naiveté of youth perhaps, but the ideas presented here were based on cliché. Actually, cliché after
I am not a huge huge fan of Connor's videos, but I do like his personality and his video styles a lot, so I am a subscriber. I was pretty skeptical when hearing that he was releasing a book - let alone a memoir, since he's only 22, but I pre-ordered, since I'm a huge fan of YouTubers extending to other mediums. Plus, I love love love memoirs.A Work in Progress gives your standard run-of-the-mill advice on being yourself, accepting who you are, blah blah blah, and shows how Connor did that
I don't read a lot of memoirs but I needed to read something out of my huge book collection in my bedroom to keep me busy on a hot summers evening and A Work In Progress did just that. Connor is such an honest, down to earth person and with every chapter throughout the book, I could even hear his voice as if he was reading his own thoughts to me. I love his photography throughout also. A great introduction to Connor Franta and his videos. Highly recommend read.
First off, let me mention that this is the first memoir I've ever read. Second, I want to mention that I like Connor and his videos, but I'm definitely not a super fan. I never even subscribed to O2L when he was on it. I simply picked this up cause I'm a nosy person and ultimately just wanted to know what Connor had to say. I wish I had read this back in high school. There was this one distinct moment in high school that lasted a few months (much longer than it should've) where this would've
