Hi readers
SYNOPSIS:
Pop culture
phenomenon, social rights advocate, and the most prominent LGBTQ+ voice on
YouTube, Tyler Oakley brings you his first collection of witty, personal, and
hilarious essays written in the voice that’s earned him more than 10 million
followers across social media.
CRITICISM:
Today’s review is about Binge the book
written by the international known Tyler Oakley who videos I love, I have to
admit that I read it just because it was him and I read it also to analyze if
he actually wrote the book, because some Youtuber are releasing book and I
doubt that they wrote them.
But Tyler is the exception, since the beginning
of the book I immediately realized that he did wrote it. Reading his book it
was like watching a long video from his channel I didn´t get bored, and you can
realize he wrote it because he uses his same phrases.
The book is categorized as Humor but for me
it has something more deep than Humor because it was so personal and it had
serious topics just like funny ones. When you see Tyler you don’t see a writer
but he actually is a good writer.
Did I get captivated by the book?
I got captivated since I read the title
from the first chapter. I actually binge read the book. And I applaud Tyler
because autobiographies don’t interest me but this one did.
What is the book about?
Well my dear readers the book consist in
short stories about the life of the writer, since his childhood to where he is
right now, in the book the main topic is his homosexuality. The book covers
topics like abuse, awkward sexual encounters, but it has innocent parts like
his theatric “talent” and all his funny experiences as a little kid.
Is the book funny?
It definitely is but it has a lot of
serious moments and he has a lot of mistakes in his life that he wants to share
so people don’t suffer like he did.
What are the appropriate ages to read the
book?
I think this book should be read by 16 year
olds to 40 years old, but if you are a fan from his channel than it doesn´t
matter you are used to his language and all his stories.
Do I recommend the book?
Absolutely yes (Only if you are a fan of
Tyler Oakley), it is a great book to relax after a hard day from work or after
reading a heavy book.
