Book Reviews of Letters to a Young Brother: MANifest Your Destiny
Book Review: Thank You Hill Harper!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have a 12 yr old son that has been going through some rough times at school with wanting to do well, but being teased for it. Junior High is/was/will always be a tough time. My son and I read this book together and then discussed anything we felt needed discussing. He started to feel "normal" knowing that a lot of people were experiencing the same things as him, even celebrities like Will Smith, someone he looks up to. I HIGHLY suggest this book to boys of any race. Thank you Hill Harper!!!!Book Review: Must read for any young man
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book for my 17 year old son. I suggest anyone with a teenage son, good or bad purchase this book.Book Review: Mentoring Young Men to Excellence
Summary: 5 Stars
I picked this book up because it was chosen as THE Best Book for Young People by the American Library Association for 2007. That is quite an endorsement. I had never heard of the author or seen his TV show.
"Letters to a Young Brother: MANifest Your Destiny" was outstanding! I wish I could put a copy in every single young person's hands. While the title implies that the book is especially relevant title for young black males, anyone would find this book inspirational.
I loved hearing about Hill's grandfathers and family life. The way he described what could be learned in a single-parent household was so lovingly described and unusual to hear. I also respected how vulnerable the author made himself by sharing his mistakes. The stories create incredibly powerful and interesting lessons.
This is a great gift to give to any young man between ages 14-20.
Book Review: EXCELLENT BOOK
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is easy to read. It's a must for any young man (not just black men). I read it before passing it on to my son. I then purchased for several other young men as well. I would HIGHLY recommend these life lessons.Book Review: I bought four copies!
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm an old, wait, middle-aged white woman and I found great insight in this book. I bought a copy for my son, my daugher, my nephew--and I'd like to see a copy of it on every library shelf in this city. Harper's advice on choosing friends is the best I've ever read. And the chapter on growing up in a single-parent household is empowering. Read this book! It's worth five times the price. WISH THERE WAS A SPANISH VERSION.
